    Description

    Playing a brass instrument or a saxophone in a loud, amplified band can be problematic. Even with electronic monitors, it can be difficult to hear yourself if the stage volume is high, which can cause over blowing, resulting in intonation and endurance problems.
    These mic-mounted reflector shields are incredibly effective in returning sound to the player, even in extremely loud playing situations.
    They're made from .1" thick clear acrylic, and are 11" in diameter. Large enough to reflect plenty of sound back to the player, but small enough to fit in most gig bags or backpacks.
    This version is round (with trumpet and saxophone players in mind) and has a large 3" center opening surrounded by a reinforcing 3D-printed hub that supports a mesh of a strong but flexible rubber cordage. This allows it to be mounted to a wide variety of microphone types. You'll be able to use this reflector with just about any mic that the sound person puts in front of you, including cordless mics. It also allows you to feed the microphone through the mesh at an angle so that you can position the mic to point at the bell of a saxophone while reflecting sound up to the player's face (see pictures).
