Can anyone contribute one or more causes of elbow pain caused by playing a musical instrument? If you know of the posture or technique that contributed to it or something that helped alleviate it, this would be great. Thanks.

Elbow pain can be caused by holding it in a cramped or over extended position for too long. Check that the elbow is flexible and not tense when you play. Prolonged pronation or supination of the forearm can also cause pain. Tai Chi or Yoga could help.
