Hi David, We tried some time ago to get some sponsorship for the NYBB from,
I think, Glaxo, the makers of Ventolin, and in order to give some weight to
the application we did a rough survey of the members that used Ventolin
inhalers. It was about 25% and most said that their Doctors recommended
brass or woodwind instruments as a help with asthma. Partly because of the
exercise but also because of the development of breath control.
Unfortunately the sponsorship application came to nothing but the
information gained was interesting. I'm sure we have some medically
qualified listers who could provide more information.

Cheers

Grandad

........But to be serious (for once) may I ask folk's
opinions on the effects of " blowing."  Some ten years ago I started having
a serious chest problem....asthma......I am not claiming that "blowing" has
cured me, but is it not possible that regular use of the lungs has improved
breathing.?
