With the mouthpiece, you don't want to get a mouthpiece that messes up your high range. Find a nice middle ground. Unrelated to the mouthpieces, it helps to only train the F side down there. Once you start using the Bb side again, it's so much easier and all you really need to worry about is intonation.
This video is really in-depth and thorough! It helped me a lot and I'm glad I found it! I wish the exercisese were in a pdf or something similar so we could see them all
Thank you! I'm glad it helped you! Consider taking a horn lesson. Study materials are included in the price. The link to the webshop is in the description bellow.
I wish the community would not talk about 'speed' of air, when they mean air pressure. As an engineer, this just confuses me. In the low range the air pressure needed is low, but the volume (quantity) is high. this is why you run out quickly and need to take more frequent breaths. In the high range the air pressure needed is high, but it is not high 'speed'. In fact the volume (quantity) of air blown is small, you don't need to take breaths as often. Low range is like fogging a mirror, and high range like blowing out candles on a birthday cake six foot away (2m). It's not speed, it's lung pressure!
Making sure parts of your embouchure to control the air pressure are also super important, like a garden hose. Without knowing the pressure points in your embouchure, no “air speed” or “air pressure” will do anything for quality of sound and/or tone, let alone pitch accuracy.
Really? I just adjusted my embouchure the way my instructor told me to and kept my lower lips floppy and bam I got a c below base cleft. From the pitches you guys are playing I’m pretty sure that I played lower. Although I can’t seem to figure out how to go from c below base clef up to 2nd space f treble cleff
Ive got a very specific issue, I can play low range C but I have trouble going up to D and E above it but when i descend I can play them fine. The D and E are very airy and not thick with tone and Im not sure how to fix it. thoughts?
@@austrismusic I'm talking about the low C in the Till Eulenspigiel solo, I just have a hard time sound the 4 semi tones above it with immediate tone, I get an airy attack and when more air is applied it seems to get worse. any thoughts?
Oh yes thought so. It's the breaking point between the normal and low embouchure. Very nasty area. You need to practice the break. The jaw position needs to be changed there a lot and the teeth need to be opened more. Hope that helps!

Thanks I think this is helping my low range! 😊
Great! Keep it up!

Radek Baborak definetely has two embrochures! You can see it in his Strauss 1 that is on UA-cam.
fixe rei
Thank you!
Thx

How low can i go with a marching horn in Bb? like the high side of a double horn
Well, concert E2. And then you have a disjoint pedal range of Bb1-E1

I have trouble going from the low range to the mid range. 😅
How so?
Haha, i have a trouble going from the middle range to the low range😆

Same exact problem bro I can play really low c but can’t even get out the d and e above it
Which octave do you mean?

Me too!
Austris - please leave out the super-annoying background music. It really just distracts and doesn't contribute anything useful to the video
