There was a video a while back of Carl Fischer playing a solo when he was with Maynard. In the middle of the solo, he changes his grip to go into the upper register. What are your experiences and did Maynard use different grips throughout his career ?? Thanks, A
This may have already been mentioned but if you go to the 'preservation thread' there's pictures of Maynard though out his career holding the horn various different ways. I had Tony Scodwell turn my third valve slide upside down. My whole left hand is under the valve slides, thumb under the first valve slide - three finders under the third valve slide - I use my middle finger to move the third valve slide - left index finger resting on the top of the third valve slide.
