[Q]
What are your thoughts on tongue placement in the mouth? I am getting lots
of conflicting opinions on this. Some people think it should be high to
facilitate good articulation, and others think it should be low to open up
the oral cavity and sound ??? I guess...I'm not really sure why
Out of curiosity, do you have any experience with getting [the Thompson
case] on smaller planes. Say, 2 and 2 or 2 and 1 configurations? - Tim

No - but I'm usually too cheap to fly when I am traveling the short
distances typically covered by such planes. I am quite certain,
however,
If so, do please come along to a concert I'm playing in on the Edinburgh
Fringe. I'm playing in the St Clements Wind Ensemble, on 14, 15, 16 August
in Canongate Kirk, at 5pm each day. The program is Milhaud The Creation of
the World, Frank Martin Concerto for Wind and Piano, and Richard Strauss
I'm still having troubles with my high range. Could you guys just
give me a list of the components of a good high range? What to do,
what not to do, etc.?
Also, as I go higher, I tend to roll my bottom lip farther and farther
over my bottom teeth, which exaggerates my overbite. Is this

I flew to Montreal from Newark yesterday on an ERJ (1+2) I was lucky to fit
my PC bag in the overhead. As I flew this plane before, I left my horn at
home for this trip.

I mostly fly united air and southwest airlines, and I am a bit worried about
their strict policy on carry ons. Does anyone have experience with a Thompson
case on either of these airlines (especially smaller flights)?
Thanks,

For what it's worth, I fly Southwest all the time and they've always
been more than willing to accommodate me even when I didn't have a
flight case. (I use the Bona MB7 now and it fits on every plane I've
been on). Usually, I explain to the airline personnel what it is and
they understand. If

I just thought I would add a little old fashioned remedies to the ear
thing.

mother would take the juice of a hot onion strong onion warm it up
and put a couple of drops in my ear. I would have almost instant

I assume it's pretty similar in concept to the garlic oil since they are

The TE cases probably won't fit on smaller planes. The MB7 compact
case should fit. I recently traveled on a smaller plane with my full size
MB7 case and they allowed me to carry it on but it did not fit in overhead
(it very nearly fit though). On one plane the stewardess allowed me to put

Being a little on the obtuse side, I resisted the whole notion of buzzing,
because I just couldn't see the point. I had the privilege to have a lesson
w/ Wendell Rider in July he took me thru the paces with buzzing the

Good eye, Milton. It's Antal Dorati and the London Philharmonic from a 1967
concert. Rubinstein was 80 at the time. It's on an EMI DVD with other

That makes sense to me. I'm confused mostly about tongue placement in
the lower register. One teacher keeps telling me to raise my tongue
for crisper articulation that is on top of the beat. My tuba playing
colleague thinks the tongue should be lower to create a more open
sound I guess...When I
