Several years back an Alexander Technique instructor recommended I place an
object (phone book?) beneath my right leg in order to deal with playing
position problems when sitting (I have scoliosis and was in a back brace during
my formative years). I considered myself tall and lanky enough to deal with
her advice in my own fashion by placing enough layers of micro fiber cloths on
my right leg and lifting it by the ankle from time to time in order to bring
the bell up and position the horn at an optimal level depending on the height
of the chair I sit in. This proved to be an especially idiotic solution last
Wednesday night when my leg suddenly started trembling VIOLENTLY in the second
movement of Tchaik 5; even after putting my ankle back down and finishing the
movement with my horn off the leg it just wouldn't stop until sometime in the
third movement!! So I'm back to looking for something light enough and
portable enough to place under my right leg (I prefer to keep the
bell on the leg most of the time). Does anyone know how other horn players
have dealt with this issue?
