Abstract	Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders in musicians include pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, or other symptoms that interfere with their ability to play their instrument at the level they are accustomed to. Many studies find a high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in musicians, ranging from 73.4% to 87.7%. String players have the highest prevalence of musculoskeletal problems. There are very few studies in India and none in Gujarat, thus there is a need to study prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in musicians. Method: A survey study using convenience sampling technique was done from the music schools of Ahmedabad with 50 subjects. The subjects aged 10 to 40 years, both males and females, with use of instruments more than 3 months were included in the study. Subjects were asked to fill questionnaire concerning demographic data, information about music and Cornell's musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire. Result: 9 out of 50(18%) musicians had musculoskeletal disorders. Cornell's musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire score ranged from 1.5-57 with mean 10.61+17.81. Conclusion: 18 % musicians were found to have musculoskeletal disorders.
