Lung Trainer Breathing Practice Device
Lung Trainers has released its namesake device, which provides lung training exercises for wind musicians and
singers to develop diaphragmatic breathing techniques for optimal musical performance.
The Lung Trainer utilizes a system of changing air pressure and air volume, allowing the user to vary the com-
binations as they develop their breathing capacity. It’s equipped with a high-quality copper mouthpiece and a
special air tube that works to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It features polished stainless-steel weighted inserts
and air regulator and is designed to last in optimal condition for years. The wall unit mounts easily on most sur-
faces using four wall screws. The magnet stand unit utilizes four powerful neodymium magnets that can attach
to any
magnet-
ic surface
and fits on
a metal music stand.

Indian rosewood and features
a maple high-per-
formance taper
neck fitted with a
Bigsby headstock.
The maple neck
offers a unique
tonal quality that
adds sustain and
brightness and
pairs well with
the warmth
and depth
of rosewood.
