oooh, sore hand. I just played a lot. It feels very good. I actually didn't get off that early, but I meditated earlier, warmed up on scales, studied some, ate dinner, and now just played a BUNCH of the Beethoven runs. I'm getting a little tired now so I'll give the chops a break ... I'd like to see if I can squeeze in a little bit on the Sinfionetta tonight. We'll see if there's still time before 9 when my chops feel recovered.
I'm conflicted about the brace. I took it off yesterday because the instrument was sounding tinny. The instrument sounds better today but my middle finger is numb again.
I wonder if I need to think about going with a straight horn and forego the F-attachment. It weighs less and I was able to use a strap to help ease the pressure, which I'm not able to do with this horn. Maybe I'll give this a little time and then try the brace again. I'm taking it with me when I travel next week and I didn't know if the TSA would have a problem with the allen wrench anyway (I have to loosen the brace to get it into the case), so I'll go without it now until after the student symphony concert, then assess trying it again.
