Hey everyone!

I am a tenor trombonist, and I have been dealing with some left-wrist pain, presumably from the weight of the instrument. I would appreciate some tenor grip recommendations.

I’m looking for something that will not compromise the vibrations, sound, etc.

Thank you!

If you do the Google search - hand support trombone chat -you'll find a number of threads and suggestions.

Have you considered doing exercises to build strength??

Classic question, but still needs to be asked...

Is it possible that the problem is that the instrument isn't balanced rather than it being too heavy?
