I must comment, bluntly, upon this: If your lips swell while using the BE method as prescribed by the book - then there´s something rotten about the state of your way of playing!


hey Seymor B Fudd I haven't tried BE yet. My understanding is there is no prescribed embouchure for that method. so it may well be in my plans for the future. I am learning TCE , at least for a while, until I can either rule it out or continue to use it. best/Doug
p.s. I was using too much mouthpiece pressure.

Douglas! "p.s. I was using too much mouthpiece pressure.".

Well - you are not alone!! Who can honestly say "I never did" by the way?

And good luck on your road ahead! Although not all ways lead to Rome. Certainly not on your side of the pond
