Useful, in small doses
The P.E.T.E. is a handy little tool, designed to strengthen the muscles of the embouchure. There are two exercises that the item is designed for, but no doubt others will be developed.
The item itself is very well manufactured; the silver plate is flawless, and it's very comfortable to use. It's also very easy to overdo the exercises, and Warburton do make this point themselves on their instructional videos. A little definitely goes a long way with this product.
I find this to be a very valuable tool for keeping the muscles of the embouchure strong when I have an enforced absence from the horn, such as on long business trips. However, it's not a substitute for practice, and I prefer not to use it as a supplement to practice either, as it's so easy to overdo. This is user error, however, and not a design flaw.

Warburton's PETE
Excellent servcie from Thomann's as usual. Very quick despatch and packaging. I would certainly recommend them with hesitation. The PETE itself hasn't really worked for me. I find there is not enough guidance on its use so I think when I started to use it I maybe overdid it. Some exercises progressive use to build the embouchure would have been most helpful. I have returned to playing my cornet after 30 years and am now on the wrong side of 60 so my embouchure muscles are not great. I was a bit disappointed to be honest as the PETE received such rave reviews. Maybe the sensible thing would be to contact Warburton's for advice.

I'm in love!
This is a great product! Before i bought it I was a bit sceptical, but I decided to try it out and send it back if I wouldn't like it. WOW! I will never send it back! As a trombone player I cannot always practice where or when I want to, but with my P.E.T.E. I can at least keep my chops fresh if I can't practise sometime.
I always keep it in my pocket, and since it doesn't make any sound and is quite discrete, I can use it almost whereever I want.
It's also so small that you can always bring it with you without any problems.

Great lip-workout tool
Having read about the P.E.T.E and the effects others felt with it, I felt compelled to give it a go.
The quality is excellent and its comfortable to hold, comes with clear instructions on the different methods that can be used....
... but the big question is, does it work?
In short - Yes, with certain proviso's.
1) This is not a substitute for regular practice.
2) It's possible to over-use it and leave your lip muscles feeling overly stiff the following day (with undesirable effects on your playing) - there's a fine line between doing good and over-doing it.
3) It's not a good idea to use before practice. In the evening (in front of the TV, for example) when it's not going to impact on your days playing, however, does yield some positive effects.
There's no substitute for proper practice, but these exercizes compliment it nicely.

Great trainer assistant
I use this as an assistant tool to train the muscles regarding my embouchure. It's ideal for when you can't practise with the real instrument or when it's night time etc. When I'm siitting at the pc or writing something I can just train train with this easily. You shouldn't get used to it though.
Product itself is made from high quality material. The surface is quite smooth and easy to clean.

Warburton P.E.T.E. Embouchure Trainer Si
This is just a must-have trainer for every brass player.
I use this almost every day in my car while driving to work. I admit, I get some strange looks when cars pass in a traffic jam, but I do not mind because this tool is helping me in getting a stronger enbouchure, more overall endurance and even a greater reach in my upper register.
This tool does not replace regular exercise, flexibility exercises and long notes, but it really helps me with time management.
I do not care a lot about all those different trainers, but this one always goed with me when I leave the house.
Thanks Thomann for the great service (as usual)
Kind regards,
Kurt

Good practice device, which comes with a price tag
Could practice device, which actually works. Price is a bit too high, but I guess you are paying for the idea.

Fantastic
Althought i've played the trumpet when i was in highschool, i didn't learned with the proper embochure. 18 years latter i'm restarting to play / learn trumpet at the same time as i am teaching at a marching band.
PETE is absolutely phenomenal to understand which muscles to use in a correct embochure. It was a colective "eureka" moment for everyone that tryied it!
Good build quality too.
HIGHLY recommend it!

Embrouchure Trainer
The P.E.T.E. embrouchure trainer is a useful device for strengthening the muscles around the lips, to improve durability.
The service and speed of delivery from Thomann to the UK was first class.

Great Weight lifting tool for your mouth!
I use this everyday as part of my warm up. It increased the speed at which I can form my embochoure and has given me more stamina than I would expect in the short time I've been using it. I have the metal one, it's easy to keep clean and means when I'm not able to get my cornet out I can work on my embochoure.
