| Re: Trumpet Playing May Be Dangerous to Your Health. ya'll all know that the power behind your playing is supposed to come from the diaphragm, right? everywhere else is supposed to be relaxed. There will be natural pressure from the fact that you are in fact trying to push a lot of air through a tiny hole, which makes it even more important that the rest of body is relaxed, otherwise you'll add to the pressure. If you want to know the total amount of pressure this can cause naturally, study Physics--more specifically pressure caused by moving fluids. Yes air is a fluid, the term fluid refers to a specific way a type of matter can act.
