Long sine waves travel long distances.

I'm 72 and have very little lung capacity. Nobody ever complained about my playing.....both community orchestras, the local brass band Eb section. Just use your air as you need to and don't worry about it. It's the sound that matters! Even little lungs can drive a brass band if they are on the beat.

Thanks for that very pithy quote!

A friend that is in community band with me just celebrated his 92nd birthday. You still have plenty of time to learn.

Air is free (so far) - use it.

Yeah, they can pry that tuba out of my cold dead fingers, right?
