I'm using a Giardinelli deep cup MP. I'm having trouble developing the upper register. should I go to a shallower cup? I've only been using your embouchure method for 2 weeks. Am I just being overzealous? Thanks
Depends what you want to accomplish, John. Some things will be easier with that equipment and some not so easy. Please contact me for a chat at andrew@hornlessons.org. Thank you!
This is exactly reverse what I do. When I'm going down I'm angling the horn up . And when I'm.going up I'm still pressing too much on my upper lip even more. But my high notes are not so good and not in tune,they're lower I think. I have and over bite ? My jaw is in front. My lower teeth are in front of upper teeth,but in playing it's somewhat equal .
Your description of your playing style is similar to myself. I to have an edge bite with my lower teeth very slightly set behind the upper incisors. Also my lip has more fleshy than the upper. I use a small rimmed mouthpiece with a straight conical cup and 5 mm bore. I place the mouthpiece two thirds upper, one third lower. Placing the rim inside my lower labial edge,with a fleshy lower lip every thing is achievable. Pivot up to rise,pivot down to descend. Neil Sander's torte me to roll the lower lip out and down to descend. Don't hesitate to reply,for further info.📯
