Designed by guitar players for like-minded instrumentalists, the Cooperstand Ecco-G’s unique eco-friendly design fits acoustic, electric, and bass guitars (and many other stringed instruments). It’s built tough enough to withstand the rigors of the stage and flexible enough to move with the instrument if bumped. It will fit in the back pocket of a pair of jeans or pack away into most guitar cases and gig bags.
Guitars generally come with some type of simple gig bag. But unless your guitar never leaves home, you will probably eventually find it inadequate for your needs. The first step in purchasing a new one is to determine what kind of case you need.

The ability to play fast, clear staccato notes is dependent on tonguing technique. To practice this technique, brass and woodwind players typically use their instruments. However, this means the players’ lips are subjected to pressure from the mouthpiece, requiring the musician to use multiple mouth muscles. This does not allow the player to focus on tonguing. The Staccator works by concentrating on the tongue muscle, in order to build its strength so the player may learn to control their tongue muscle better. Created by professional trumpet player Chris Cigolea, Staccator has been endorsed by Chase Sanborn and music instrument retailer Long & McQuade.
