I've used a flipper (different from a duck's foot) most of my horn playing years, because of using a horn at the beginning (when I was 45) that had the finger...
... The hand strap is less restrictive IMO than any other device. I have never found a duck's foot to be any more comfortable than a pinky hook but that is...
I have small hands but always used the finger hook. I finally had enough pain that I had the hook taken off and had a duck's foot put on. I do have to take...

You are certainly right, Jean. The whole body is involved in horn playing--as in most any musical performance activity (not involving electronic production,...
I'll agree with what Jean said 100%! It takes the whole body. Other kinds of exercise really help. Dave (who took some Yoga from Jean a few years back and is...
