MoistureGuard MG-FRH1 – French horn

As bands and orchestras are starting to perform together again, it is still vital that rehearsals and concerts are made safe for musicians and audience members alike. Capturing over 90% of respiratory aerosols, without affecting sound, this new and innovative product is the perfect solution for getting musicians rehearsing and performing together again in the Covid-19 era. This range of products are designed to fit any brass or woodwind instrument, are fully washable, and are seen as a vital part in the progression to more music making in the immediate future. The release of aerosol particles whilst playing wind and brass instruments have been key in the debate about safety whilst performing. Dr Alex Parker, PhD, and the team at MoistureGuard worked with some of the top brass players in the country to conduct an experiment using 7 different brass instruments, detailing the transmission of these particles with and without the MoistureGuard. A six-channel laser particle counter was used to analyse the aerosols leaving the instrument whilst playing with the filter and without, sorting the droplets into size and type categories as well as scanning for quantities produced. The conclusion was a significant reduction in the propagation of respiratory aerosols whilst using the filter. It has a 90% success rate in trapping these particles, helping you to make music safely again. MoistureGuard have developed a filter that still allows sound to travel freely through the instrument, whilst still providing a safer playing environment, whether this be one to one tuition, school ensemble or bands, orchestras, wind and fanfare bands, brass band, or in-fact any activity involving brass or woodwind instruments. Staying safe whilst still being able to make music is a top priority in this Covid era. Not only is this product ideal for performance and rehearsal environments, it will also be crucial in returning to instrumental teaching and learning. Using the MouistureGuard filter, essential one-to-one tuition will, along with all additional recommended guidelines, be demonstrably safer allowing brass and woodwind teachers to return to work in schools and colleges. Making music in the same space seems like a distant memory, so whether you have a community brass band or a school orchestra, the addition of the MoistureGuard filter will create a safer environment for you to start playing again. And with a vast range of sizes available, the whole ensemble will be covered! There is a MoistureGuard filter available for almost every brass and woodwind instrument, see our drop-down menu for the full range. The filters are reusable, however it is recommended that you wash your cover after each use either by hand or machine at 40°C. This product can also be tumble dried. It is supplied in its own resealable bag for hygiene purposes. Each filter is designed to fit all typical bell sizes for their respective instruments.
