In this Weekend Update

Drew gets philosophical about why we buy, the emotions behind buying decisions, and why you (yes you!) are in sales. Read about it here.

*AND*

Former SE Shires trumpet builder and current Boomer Music Company repair shop Manager David Smalley sits down to talk trumpet maintenance. He touches on such topics as:

  • Simple routine maintenance you can (and should) do at home
  • How often to get a professional chemical or ultrasonic cleaning
  • Lubricants – What to and not to use
  • Stuck mouthpiece? There’s a tool for that!
  • and more!

*PLUS*

Ward discovered a new product! If you have been using a Shure wireless system with the TA4 plug, you know how hard it it to connect that directly to your smartphone. Ward has discovered a solution that is as easy to use as it is effective. And you won’t need a bag full of extra cables and adapters to make it work.

*FINALLY*

Drew and Ward recently made a product feature video using a three camera, two microphone setup. Since Drew has been asked how we do this, we created this “behind the scenes” video! Topics covered include:

  • Gear Used
  • Problem Solving (knowing what it is supposed to look like when finished)
  • How to Set Up Synchronizing Your Video and Audio Sources
  • …and more!
