You are most likely here from my antics on TikTok - However, if not, head on over to check it out :)
KGU recently sent me this absolutely amazing trim kit and there's no way better to show them off... then by showing them off! The quality is insane and it looks SO good on my flugel. KGU Music: https://kgumusic.com
MG Leather Work recently sent me this absolutely beautiful Mute & Valve Guard and there's no way better to show them off... then by showing them off! The quality is just incredible! MG Leather Work: https://mgleatherwork.com/
KGU recently sent me this incredible mouthpiece booster to try out and I am beyond satisfied. The extra balanced weight helped my control so much. I was hesitant because I'd never used them before but my goodness, just amazing. KGU Music: https://kgumusic.com
You're probably here because of the silly stuff... the rest are on TikTok or Youtube.
