@Vulgano-Brother said in Saw this in the Daily Mail passing through Heathrow Airport:
When in Germany I had a colleague (trombone player, but smarter than most) who had taken part in a study about lung capacity among brass players. The finding was that brass players don't really have bigger lungs, but can easily control the exhalation.
True!
I was once at a very young age for a revision in a hospital and they measured my lung capacity. Pretty small. After a moment they came again and said "your mother says you're a trumpet student in the conservatory?" "Yes". They measured it again. No change. Quite embarrassing, I supose.
