Acoustic Personal Monitor
A.P.M.
Patent Pending

This non-electronic device allows the brass instrument musician to personally hear what is coming out of their horn.  You can now clearly hear yourself over the rest of the band or orchestra.  We are now Patent Pending on this simple and effective device.   I use the APM on my live performances (loud combo gigs) and it makes an amazing difference. Keep one in your gig back so you can clip it on your horn and actually hear what is going on.  Your performance will improve dramatically.  With one ear you hear only your horn.  With the other ear you hear the ensemble.  Only works on brass winds, at present.  We are working on a woodwind version.

Chasons Half-Tone Tuner
