The P.E.T.E. PRO is an advanced-level isometric strengthening tool to be used by experienced altissimo players. It is important that users have well-developed embouchure strength and/or previous experience with the P.E.T.E. for Brass before using this model. Players who are required to regularly play in the extreme upper register, or those who have reached a plateau in their efforts with the original P.E.T.E. will find that the P.E.T.E. PRO provides them with the additional challenge they’re looking for. We have researched the effectiveness of this new developmental tool by sending it out to select professional players, and have received enthusiastic reports.
The P.E.T.E PRO disk is about 5/8" in diameter, compared to the approximately 3/4" disk of the

Professional Quarterbacks throw the football great distances with accuracy. They do this by practicing their skills on the field. What we don’t see is the time spent in the gym preparing the muscle groups needed so that they can practice these skills. Engaging in either one of these activities in excess is less effective than doing both in balance.
Use P.E.T.E. as an adjunct tool to assist you in becoming a better player!
P.E.T.E. for Woodwind instrument players!
Very soon after the release of our P.E.T.E. for brass players, we started getting positive feedback from woodwind players who were trying it out. While the brass player's model was indeed helping them with embouchure development, we worked with numerous woodwind players to discover that a design change to our original model would better target the embouchure muscles used by woodwind players.
Reed players will gain muscle strength needed to better control the reed - resulting in improved intonation in the extreme upper and lower registers. The tendency of palm key notes to go sharp and bottom notes to go flat will be greatly reduced or completely eliminated!
Available in the same materials as the brass player's model - except that the plastic model is blue Delrin plastic instead of black.
