[QUOTE="turf3, post: 520614, member: 8105"] Unless you specifically ask your instructor about this issue, you can't assume he will magically look at you and determine whether he and you need to pay attention to playing position. I'm still going to bet 99+% that it's about playing position, and 90+% that the horn's too low and you're trying to force it into position. Rather than just blanket resisting the suggestion, why don't you hike up on the strap an inch or two and practice that way for a week? And mark the strap so you know where your position is (assuming you're using one with a slider). [/QUOTE]
