I'm a 74 year old with arthritis in my hands. Your advice regarding hand and thumb tension, and the Rulon thumb rest, has restored my ability to play comfortably. Thank you!

[@robertyoungsax]

That is fantastic to hear!! I am glad that this has been helpful!

[@RichardCharney-hk2kt]

Do you have any tips on holding a straight or bent neck soprano? More difficult, as your thumbs do support the weight.@@robertyoungsax

[@RichardCharney-hk2kt]

I've been letting it hang on the strap and bending over more than is desirable

[@tmcunlimited]

Thanks for this advice . My fingers tend to tense up when I’m learning a new piece resulting in finger pain at night .
Will definitely be doing what you recommend .
Great clip 👍🏽

Very helpful so many thanks

[@robertyoungsax]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@charlesbenoit5252]

Best advice I’ve heard in a long time! Thanks

[@kentkryer3630]

I really like your advice for practicing. But the background music in your video is annoying and very distracting. Is there any way to remove that? Is there a button I can press?

[@robertyoungsax]

thanks for the advice. Ill keep that in mind for the next videos.
