I had a deviated septum corrected not once but twice (the second time included more extensive work to the sinus cavities themselves as well) and it did not affect my playing one way or the other. Naturally I waited about four to five weeks before returning to the horn. I have responded to the original poster in detail privately regarding this matter. Herb, if as you suggest her problem is air leaking through the nasal passages due to some kind of problem with the soft palate, immediate medical attention should be sought. That should not be one of the post-operative consequences.
