Nickle allergy

I didn't realise that people suffering from nickle-allergy have a big problem when playing a nickle-plated trombone. A part of the trombone touches the left shoulder and when wearing some comfortably t-shirts the trombone will touch your skin. I know my mom has a nickle allergy, but luckely she doesn't have to come near my trombone.

For all you tromboneplayers or other brass players with nickle allergies. There are cheap alternatives to buying a trombone without the nickle. Cozies exist that shield your skin from the trombone at your shoulder. It consists of a piece of strong cloth with velcro that wraps around the tubing. http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/trombonecozy
