It is precisely this ability which led a doctor friend of mine to express the view that playing a wind instrument is dangerous insofar as it enables one to pass medical tests with ease thus maybe masking possible problems.
I know when I was given an asthma test involving blowing down a tube I blew the end off it. Fortunately my doctor knew me and, throwing the device over her shoulder commented, "Well that was a waste of time wasn't it". She had to do other tests.
