Mike, it depends how long was it since you last played :?: The old Farkas idea is that you need two days for every one missed. :roll:
if you haven't played since Xmas day e.g. then it wold take you nearly 2 weeks to get back into shape :shock:

"Am I the only horn player not doing any practice? " Egads - I hope so.

I don't keep my horns in their cases. I keep them in the front living room, in front of the fireplace right next to the music stand. This way they are right and ready to go at a moments notice, no time wasted opening the case. Also they are in view if the television is being watched, when eating dinner, or whatever. Of course they get moved into the music room when company comes over, but brought back out when they leave.

You might try getting a wife. Mine loves to hear me play and practice. So, if she hasn't heard any horn playing she will ask me to play or practice something.

Also not practicing, putting yourself in a position of needing time to get ready is putting you in a position of having to turn down work and enjoyment; should it be offered to you.

Unless you're depressed?! Maybe see a doctor about some short term anti depressants to get you back into the grove.
