[Harp-L] Re: Trill Truth Revealed



I had cataract surgery a few years ago, and the doctor who performed the operation became a friend of mine.  A few months later, he happened to be in a club where my band was playing.  He watched me, and after the gig he stated that shaking my head (trill) could cause detached retinas, and other eye and health problems.  This was a very knowledgeable doctor who was a leader in his field.  Since that day, I no longer shake my head to perform a trill.  I shake the harp.  I always think of this when I  see other harp players do the head shake.  

Has anyone had problems related to trills?
