..... flamesuit zipped-up to the neck..... strong arms help.

For me, it's the control benefit that I really like.

> "Stronger arms=more control". If you are a bass trombone player, moving
the slide and wiggling fingers at the same time, "arm relaxation
techniques", and erect posture are required. I have found that the more
muscle in my right arm the slower my slide will move in and out. Conversly
the weaker, the harder it is to tune. Flexible strength is the answer. The
back muscles and diaphram muscles are important, as well as taking deep
breaths as you tune/play. Think the same way as you 'pound the keys'...relax
and breathe deeply. We are in agrement here, just another way of looking at
a problem. ...Full body flame suit applied for if not activated.
