❤️ AN UPDATE FROM LETICIA IN NAIROBI… ❤️

A little while ago we received a video message from Leticia, a young cornet player in Nairobi, who needed some help holding her instrument comfortably.

Through our friend James Trott and his amazing charity Brass for Africa, Beth and I were able to help.

And for everyone who has been asking for an update… this is Leticia now. 🥹❤️

She can hold and play her cornet without struggling, thanks to her CalderPips Grips.

Check out her amazing video! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

This is a huge part of why CalderPips exists.

Whenever somebody comes to us needing something a little different, we do absolutely everything we can to make it work. Sometimes that means adapting an existing design. Sometimes it means starting completely from scratch.

But one thing we are very firm about: we will never charge somebody extra simply because their needs are different. If we can find a way to help, we will.

And there’s another really important part of this story…

YOU help make things like this happen.

Every time one of our amazing customers shares a photograph, video or post featuring a CalderPips product, it increases our visibility and helps us reach musicians who might otherwise never know that this kind of help exists.

So if you own a CalderPips product, have shared one of our posts, recommended us to somebody or simply supported what we do…

you have helped directly. THANK YOU. ❤️🙏🏻

We’re also incredibly grateful to those wonderful people who offered to lend us instruments for testing and even offered to pay for Leticia’s grips themselves. That generosity genuinely means the world to us.

A massive thank you to James Trott, Brass for Africa, all of our incredible CalderPips customers and supporters…

…and, of course, Leticia. ❤️

Keep playing, Leticia. You’re absolutely smashing it. 🎺❤️🌍

🎺 AN OLDIE… BUT A GOODIE! 🎺

A little throwback to one of our original videos explaining the CalderPips Trombone Grip — what it does, how it works, and why we designed it in the first place!

After trying pretty much every trombone support and grip out there, we decided there had to be a better way… so we made our own. 💪🎶

Comfortable, secure, fully adjustable and designed by trombonists, for trombonists.

Thousands of grips later, they’re being used by players all over the world — from beginners and students to some of the finest professional players around. 🌍

If holding your trombone is causing strain or discomfort, or you just play lots and want to avoid injury in the first place, have a look at the video.
