Product Information
HIGH TONE GAUGE measures expiratory pressure by blowing air into the tip of the tube. It measures the maximum pressure attained and provides data in kPa (kilopascal). This data serves as a benchmark to improve wind instrument performance, such as playing the trumpet, by indicating the player’s potential to produce high tones.
Furthermore, lack of exercise and aging can lead to shallow breathing and a decline in respiratory capacity. Using the HIGH TONE GAUGE to monitor expiratory pressure can help in maintaining proper breathing capacity by providing numerical feedback from training.
Note 1: For more details, please refer to the website of the musical instrument shop “M. Glory” (President Kiyoshi Fujiwara).
Features
The device holds the maximum value of expiratory pressure. You can record the instantaneous maximum value later. The included mini tripod also works with a digital camera. The high-precision, high-response pressure gauge quickly and accurately displays changes in expiratory pressure.
