Mr. Jacobs wanted to hear a lot of buzz in the sound on the mouthpiece alone. He equated the amount of buzz to the amount of resonance when the mouthpiece was inserted back into the instrument.
More buzz = stronger lip vibration.

I never had a problem walking 30 minutes to hook up with my girlfriend or happy hour!!bort wrote:
There's probably no great solution to this apart from:
-- dealing with it
-- doing what you have to do to make it work
-- sleeping less to make time for the stuff you have to/want to do
I know it's inconvenient and not the best situation. But overcoming a mild amount of inconvenience is a key part of success and determination, and frankly, is part of maturing and growing up. It's good to have creative solutions and workarounds, but sometimes you just have to plow through it and take the hard way out.
I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.
