Bad Dream..

[Ken Smith]

Richard, several years ago while playing in a concert band my hand was getting tired playing the Tuba part in the ump-pa parts along with two tubas. I then grabbed my French bow underhand/German grip. Other than twisting my wrist to play, it felt rather nice and easier to get the sound out.

Good on you Ken, there's hope that you may be converted yet - to the dark tone side!

Converted?.. No...

But accepted that others do it?..

Sure, as long as it makes you a better person..
