I play piano, guitar, drum, and saxophone and I never had to take my kandi off. The best part is the people in my band don't mind all the kandi either so if we have a gig we all keep it on and its kinda like a "look" you could say.

I play trumpet and for me I don't have kandi at a concert. For the guitar i recommend taking it off cause it will get caught in the strings.

From the beginning of middle school to the end of high school, I played the alto saxophone and I never had any problems with my kandi getting in the way. The only time I had to take it off was for when I started high school and band was also marching band. So things like football games and competitions I would take it off [for uniform rules]. Otherwise in class it wasn't an issue and after school marching practice I would wear a small amount for heat/sweating/comfort sake. The same kind of goes for when I was in indoor drumline. I wouldn't take my bracelets off for practice, but when we went to professional events/competition, it had to be taken off for uniform-

I play flute and I could keep all of my kandi/jewelry on if I wanted too, but for me if I'm wearing too much, it restricts movement. To feel more free, I take most of my kandi/jewelry off when I play. Before I graduated last year, I would just keep what I was planning on wearing in my locker since band was my first class of the day.
