Our Story
In an age of music teachers stacking books on students’ chests, world-renowned bassoonist Harold Hanson designed the Original Breath Builder® based on a children’s toy in 1971. Hanson turned an age-old problem into a forever-modern device that trains the lungs to breathe better, easier, and stronger.
We’ve been around for 50+ years, serving schools and musicians in our hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada - and beyond.
The Original Breath Builder® can help users with health issues, musical performance, athletic ability, and anything that requires breathing.
Hanson created the only device on the market with a continuous flow of air without having to stop and make an adjustment to the device. Even though it’s been around for over 50 years, it’s still the latest innovation in breath control and performance.
The Original Breath Builder® makes a game out of breathing better. Learning to keep the ball in its highest position helps give the flute, clarinet, and other reed-instruments artists more lung control. That translates into being able to hold long phrases better, hit high notes easier, maintain proper breathing through long, involved musical scores.
