Re: How fatigued should my embouchure get?

Author: kdk ★2017 Date:   2010-11-10 12:42 You may be doing too much of the right thing. I've often found myself needing to use *more* pressure (of the "radial" kind you describe) to control reeds that are too light. Very soft reeds, even if you avoid closing them off, tend to vibrate more wildly and spread more easily than reeds that are of the right strength for the rest of the setup. Maybe you're going too far in the "easy-blowing" direction. The reed needs to vibrate well, but for me an optimally resistant reed needs less pressure and effort than one that's too soft. Or, maybe it's because you haven't played much the past couple of months. Karl
