Whether you’re a beginner or a professional \u2013 all wind instruments require a lot of physical activity from holding the instrument to controlled breathing. And not to mention while playing the perfect sound at exactly the right moment, together with an orchestra or band. Therefore it pays off if you are well equipped and organized.\u00a0??<\/p>\n

Here are a few tips to help you make your life more comfortable:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Turn on the light!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When on stage or in the pit of the orchestra, it is often dark, and difficult to read notes.\u00a0Rather than wait for the off chance of a spot light coming your way, simply turn on the efficient\u00a0LED desk light Duet 2 from Mighty Bright<\/a><\/strong>. A total of four extra bright light-emitting diodes between two swan necks, which can be switched individually. This portable mini-lamp can also be used as a bedroom reading lamp and is powered by means of batteries or a power supply.<\/p>\n

      To avoid shocks to your instrument, accidental falls and neurosis, place all your mutes on a single stand and access them easily.
