Abstract
The invention relates to a grip for a musical instrument, particularly a band instrument which may be used in a group performance. A component of every musical performance, especially a group performance by a group such as by a marching band or drum and bugle corps, is the visual component. In the case of a horn, a visually attractive visual component would be a selective spinning or rotating motion provided by the performer, using a grip attached to the horn for allowing support of said horn in a single hand. The grip further provides an ergonomic means for gripping the horn in either one or both hands.
