Breathing

Hi Tim, The "feel" remains the same throughout - that the "sound" is "riding" on the compressed airstream - that WE are in command, rather than being at the mercy of fate and fortune. What changes? the feeling of increased RESISTANCE as the embouchure/aperture is gradually tightened. The air pressure has to be increased, proportionally, to meet that resistance; otherwise the tone will become smaller, and softer, until the buzz ceases altogether. One more thing Tim - This all gets fairly VIOLENT, internally -especially as we head up past C3! Not for the "faint-of-Spirit". One time, during a clinic at the University of Maryland, on observer blurted out: "Look at his gut! He's "doing-it" all with air!! All the best to you. You CAN "do it"! Clyde
