[Trombone-l] gear choices was The Brace

[Steve Gamble]

Have to agree with Jeff here.  Perhaps this isn't exactly what Jeff was
getting at but, personal comfort can make a significant difference.
(Maybe if we were all a perfect Zen :) then it wouldn't matter).  When I
auditioned for the Tucson Symphony, I had my horn for only two days.
People advised me "shouldn't you get used to it first?"  But it was so
much fun to play that I was able to enjoy myself even during the
audition.  I think that is what made the difference in the outcome.

I think gear choices that make no difference in sound, but make the horn
feel better to the player are good choices.  If it feels better, then
the
player is more confident, and good music is a more likely outcome.  That
is
a positive effect.
