Heh...true enough, but only when you’re not using it. It’s remarkably different when you’re using your torso to push into the mouthpiece rather than pulling it to your face with your arm.
WOW, Craig....fantastic. I am friends with your parents and they told me about this and it was GREAT fun to watch you perform AND to have put together the apparatus that will hold it in place so you can play. Thanks for posting this and get well soon!
Beautiful playing. I remember you from Rangeview HS, you taught my son Dayrel Neal. I knew Mike Lucas very well, and I was part of the Denver scene from 1982-1997 before bouncing back and forth from CA to NJ back to CA currently. Great to see you have done well, I knew Joe Alessis's dad in San Rafael, CA when I taught there and hung out with, incredible trumpet player. Again, great to see you, glad you have done well with playing the bone and in such a great symphony. All the best... . . .John Asti
Thank you for posting this. I hope that your recovery was a fast one? I am looking at trying to build something similar for my 15 year old son. He is also a trombone player. He has a rare disease (Rasmussen's Encephalitis) that is causing him to lose function and control over his left arm and leg along with other issues. He wants to continue learning and playing with his school band in the stands at football games and we want to help him any way we can. Any advice, suggestions on parts or measurements?Thank you,Shannon Bailey

"Not the most stable?" It's more stable than another hand, for sure.

Nice Craig! Hope you heal quickly, Happy Thanksgiving to you and the fam!
Beautful. Trombone looks like a spécial instrument to learn to play good. I guess most any instrument is...
I am wondering if you may be willing to share your design for the brace.
No official designs…just kinda made it up as I went along. I’d be happy to email you som photos if you’re interested…and if I can find them.
If I remember correctly that's a page from Melodious études.

Sorry to hear about the surgery, was the rotator cuff damaged because of trombone playing?
It was the cause of a bone spur. It was a gradual full tear which likely made the recovery better than if it was an impact injury.
Was it difficult to build? I'm interested in building something a lot like it, not sure how to approach the project
