I Think ≠ It Is!

@Kehaulani Sorry, not sure what you refer to by "do it to begin with". If it is about Rowuk's opinion that the Enhancers are similar to a particular bracing, I have found that, at least on my trumpets, that type of bracing is not optimal.
-
So, while they might enhance some trumpets, they don't enhance all?
-
@Kehaulani I think I understand you now. The Resonance Enhancers are not braces, they are thermoplastic rubber (so no effect on silver plate) inserts that go between the valve casings. They are not permanently mounted. I have not been told of any models that they do not work on, however 2 players have not liked the difference they made. I supply a set with each of my trumpets.

@Trumpetsplus : They have been on my Shew ever since I received them (txs Ivan for sending them to this side of the Atlantic with a very friendly postage fee). I fiddled a bit with the positioning, they now rest higher between the valves most of the time (= tighter fit). Sloting improved a lot, it's easier to lock the right notes in place.
They simply work. For me. Meaning = nothing wrong with the trumpet, it's me who needs the extra help, most probably going against the more loose/lighter characteristics of the Shew, that are there by design.
