[Dixielandjazz] Lead in Brass

[Dixiejazzdata]

Dear Bill:  
Well now I have met a lot of Trumpet and Trombone players that had developed extreme cases of Brass Balls, and a few who played like they had lead in their asses, but never heard of one getting lead poisoning yet.  But that certainly is no medical opinion and I have no idea.  But most of the Brass Players on this list are Old dudes and it ain't killed most of 'em yet :))

I shall however check my brass guys  on the next gig and see if any of them have a rusty zipper and yellow shoe laces a dead giveaway for kidney malfunctions I would think .   :))  


Cheers,


Tom Wiggins

...and all this time I thought that 'lead trumpeter' was a proficiency thing, 
now I realise they were describing a condition!

Sorry, don't mean to diminish your post Bill - in short I've got no idea, 
however I wouldn't have thought that you could absorb enough lead from playing a 
brass instrument to make much difference. (That said, a bit of googling suggests 
that perhaps you could - interesting question.)

> Brass is an alloy, which includes lead.
