Introduction
A limited number of sources provided in Polish focused on people playing musical instruments and various ailments resulting from the play, giving the impression that this group of people should enjoy good health. Unfortunately, the analyzes of the conducted research indicate something else. Musicians are part of a society whose work is often invisible. In addition to concerts, weddings and special events, they spend much time locked in a recording studio, and the occurrence of an injury that excludes them from regular work may have social and psychological effects. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the frequency of musculoskeletal disorders among musicians.

Material and methods
The granting was carried out by the method of a diagnostic survey using a proprietary online questionnaire made available to the study group, broken down by sex, age and experience.

Results
The presented study shows the state of knowledge and awareness in a given professional group and, at the same time, shows how widespread and frequent the given problem is. In the study group, musicians report pain problems in as many as 95% of cases.

Conclusions
The musicians belong to the group of people particularly exposed to pain from the musculoskeletal system.
