I have been playing for a long time although I took a break for around 7-8 years. (As a returning player I came back with some self-inflicted bad habits mainly too much pressure) some 20 years back on the horn I now find myself playing Cornet in a brass band, Trumpet and Flugel in Cover bands, Jazz/Funk & Soul groups, and Original Artists.

For many years I have known that I am applying too much pressure and constricting myself to play higher. It sort of works to a point but at a cost, both sound and endurance.

The lack of blood flow around the chops means you don’t have long till the tank is empty.

I have been researching the problem, but nothing has really fixed it for me. Finally, I bit the bullet to try this Stratos thingy. If I’m honest I was very sceptical that it was going to help me. But felt I had to try something.

After some guidance both physically and equally important mentally, notes in the upper range suddenly just fell out the instrument. The moment actually happened and not just a one off a few times. I was a bit speechless to be honest. A, B, C up top just spilled out of the bell, unbelievably it felt like I was playing in the stave!!

‘To live without my music would be impossible to do”

My music is an escape from the anxiety, the stresses, and strains of life. I cannot imagine life without playing music. I am now armed with renewed confidence that I can continue to play, grow, and become a more accomplished brass musician. The work continues…..

Huge thanks to Marcus, he is a truly Marvellous man.

If you are struggling as a player with pressure/endurance, range you really should give the Stratos a chance and make sure you book some time with Marcus to steer you on the right path, you will not be disappointed.

What was my experience like yesterday with Marcus Reynolds guiding me through how to use his brilliant invention, the STRATOS Performer?

It was like sitting in a dark cave when someone (Marcus) opened up a huge door allowing light to flood in and illuminate all of the features (my unused embouchure potential) that were there all along but I couldn’t see.

At one point I broke out into long, spontaneous laughter – the result of experiencing utter AMAZEMENT.

Now I have some work to do to integrate these new learnings and understandings into my expanding self-image.

Now I have some work to do to change my expectations about how much easier and effortless playing brass instruments can be for me.

Now I’m looking forward to playing again and integrating these new realisations and feelings of effortless ease into my playing experience.

Yesterday’s’ experience in a short sentence:

“Instant growth!”

A little longer sentence:

“Indelible impressions from instant growth and progress!”

A magical experience.

And it left me with the following question:

“How can I enable and empower myself to be, do, and achieve more of what delights me and helps me grow in less time, with less energy expenditure and with far greater efficiency?”

STRATOS from Marcus Reynolds – it’s a serious game changer.
