I only need it on a couple of tunes and don't have any pockets with my costume. Do you have any ideas/suggestions please?<br />Sally<br />xsallytrombonehttps://www.facebook.com/sally.trombonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740105351558575885.post-75474941754905584392014-05-09T22:11:34.146-07:002014-05-09T22:11:34.146-07:00Hi, Holding the horn with the plunger is indeed a ...Hi, Holding the horn with the plunger is indeed a challenge. My goal is to always have as good posture as possible. Many people raise their shoulder in order to rest the horn on the shoulder, but I recommend against this if possible as it creates tension in the shoulder area. <br /><br />When I hold the horn without the plunger the back of the horn is resting lightly on my shoulder, consequently the horn is being supported by three points: Left hand (primary support) Shoulder rest (secondary support) and right hand (more balance than support, in order to keep the right hand free to operate slide. With the plunger, the left hand heal of the palm supports the horn, plus the shoulder rest and right hand slide. With the plunger I find that I need to hold the slide with a little more support and balancing than I use without the plunger.<br />Bottom line: we want to play without any tension and with a "proper" posture.<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />EdEd Neumeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694473842272387837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740105351558575885.post-70604235801125010252014-05-08T18:07:27.659-07:002014-05-08T18:07:27.659-07:00Great information Ed.

There seems to be a great deal of pressure placed on the slide. As a result, intonation, free movement and possible damage to the instrument are issues. Look forward to reading your response.
