I beg to differ Hans. The first time I experienced this issue was about 20 years ago - I was doing some afternoon playing at a convention and walked around the convention floor with a cup of MFG coffee (the brand). Later, when I went to play I literally could not get out any notes above forth line D. I've had this problem with this brand of coffee since then - it was served to me without knowing what kind it was and then I'd go to play layer in the day and I had the same problem only to find out it was the same coffee.

I know it's hard to believe but every other horn player in the world isn't just trying to make excuses for why they can't play when they identify a bonafide problem.

Jeremy.

Well, all these theories about the influence of food or medication on the embouchure SERVE WELL as a most welcome EXCUSE. The only thing to be avoided would be strong coffee, as it might result in shaking (nerves) but not on the embouchure.
