You don't play it when it's cold, you let it warm up first!!

I'm a "brass" player, mostly trumpet. For a number of years it's been
possible to have brass instruments cryo treated (to liquid nitrogen
temperatures). All kinds of benefits in tone quality and ease of
playing have been advertised.

Doesn't the brass contract thermally? If so, how do you rule this out as a
factor?
