Answer is very simple: they dont play in the orchestra, they
have not to sit on these chairs & they have not to look at
the music & the conductor the same time. They even cannot
understand, why the trombones use different slide lengths
when playing together. "It looks so weird ?!?!" - Ha-ha,

A really wonderful trumpet player/composer Anthony Plog played very
successfully for years with a wooden mouthpiece. For some folks metal
causes issues with skin conditions for some others it may just be an
issue of comfort. While I would not suggest this as the standard
course, I certainly would
Please forgive a remark which might be seen by some as off-color, but ..
I expect Cabbage to tell us he played with himself --- meaning with a
mouthpiece made of cabbage, of course.

Don't let that kind of thing get spread around! Next thing you know,
people will be asking what kind of potato it was, if it was in season
or not, whether and how it was cooked, what throat size was used,
whether it was a wide rim potato or a narrow rim, etc etc. You'll have

There was a brief trend toward experimenting with wooden mouthpieces
when I was teaching in Rome. The players thought them very comfortable,
but the tone was very dull and uninteresting. Some of the players were
in military bands, and I advised them that if they were required to play

This question somehow reminds me of a story told about one of our
local freelance tuba players. He played an entire performance of the
Nutcracker with a mouthpiece he carved out of a potato shortly
beforehand. The sad thing was how good it sounded, he said.

I am looking for a new mouthpiece to try. I don't really know what kind I want,
but am leaning toward a wooden one. I was wondering if there was anyway to look
at one before taking the dive and purchasing one then deciding it doesn't work

Hi Steve,
Classical guitar players often use a small folding adjustable foot
rest under their right foot while playing. I'm tall (193cm) and play
off the leg, but a student of mine bought one and tried it out; it
worked perfectly!

PS - the different chair height was simply a matter of comfort - I play off
the leg so it made little difference to how I held the instrument.
Speaking of same height music stands, I did a couple of gigs with one of
these jazzy type big-band type groups who used these wooden "one size only"
Just on the subject of chairs, at the BBC in Manchester (and presumably
elswhere too) they have adjustable chairs. The legs have numbered marks on
them
and you just set each leg to your required height. Sounds like sense to me -
we don't all have the music stand at the same height (althoug

A couple more thoughts on "on the leg" playing. The chair height can have
an effect on success. Years ago my orchestra bought new chairs. We had a
players' committee to make recommendations to management and samples of
different chairs were brought in for everybody to try. In the end, t

I have been asked off list what is moleskin that I use to alleviate right thumb
