I had actually always wondered this myself. When I would think, I'd always lift my horns by the top bow. But day to day, this is what they'd get:

Yamaha 201/321: Top bow (not much else to hold)

Yamaha 641: Fourth Valve tubing on the front.

Mirafone 186: First valve tubing on the front.

Getzen CB50: Fifth valve tubing as close to the rotor as possible.

I haven't experienced any problems, but is this gonna hurt me 10 years down the road?
