On November 1, Claudia Zornow asked for advice on the contrabass embouchure.
When I played a few weeks ago, I would squawk, too. I realized that it had
no focus or shape to it. My embouchure would even leak when I played Bb!
My advice is to play with a free but focused embouchure.

Keep us informed about how it's going!
