Hans, thank you for your comments. However, I'm not sure I understand what you
are trying to tell me. Do you mean that when I work on low horn parts, I'm
setting in the lower lip too deeply (Einsetzen?) pulling the lips apart too
much and it is causing cramping? Do you mean that I should be using the same
basic embouchure "set up" for all my playing? Please clarify across the pond &
our language barriers as best you can. Thank you.

< It means, that you cramp the one or the opposite way. Whynot playing all
relaxed with less vertical pressure,mouthpiece set at the edge of the lower lip
so it pulls thelip opening open enough ? You would soon find out that youplay
more relaxed without getting sharp or flat. Gettingflat due to playing low
parts ? Why ? Because you aredigging into the ground instead of playing the low
notesjust as other notes. Try it ! Just practising the one or theother extreme
does not improve anything.>_______________________________________________
