Playing the tuba is physical work. Alot of well known players have been tapped out after 20 years or so, chop problems, bad backs, and in my case(although I am not well known or a stupendous player), the onset of focal dystonia. You have been doing something right to get the same results for a long time. Hope that clarifies it somewhat. Thanks for your interest, I, and all of the board, look forward to your answers.
