PLEASE USE A FLAT STABLE SURFACE WHEN ATTACHING, WHEN NOT PLAYING IT IS WISE TO CLOSE THE TELESCOPIC TUBES TO AVOID CONTACT WITH OTHER MUSICIANS.
Brass instruments not only require the lifting of heavy instruments, but also constant support once you the have instrument in a playing position, this causes the muscles to be in constant tension whilst playing. Many brass players experience physical discomfort, ranging from wrist and arm pain, tendinitis, shoulder problems, to neck strain and chronic upper and lower back pain.
After years of practicing and playing, holding a heavy metal instrument in the same position causes stress and increasing tension in our muscles. Stretching the muscles in the front of the body whilst strengthening the muscles in the back can go a long way to helping alleviate this tension and therefor pain.
