I was looking online for some discussion about how to care for your nails, fingers, or hands as a brass player but I didn't have any luck. I know the nails have to be short for piston valve players so your fingers can hit the valves without any trouble, but...
What about calluses on the tips of nails, should they be removed, kept?
I also understand that one's hand must be well cared for to prevent cramps, carpal tunnel, and other injuries, but do professional players do any specific stretches or care routines to keep their hands and fingers in the best condition?
This question may have a very obvious answer, but out of curiosity I wanted to know if I were missing out on any special way professionals keep their hands healthy.
