Subj: Snoring Operation- Woodwind Sound-Throat shape
Date: Mon, 2 Dec 1996 09:38:03 -0500

Has anyone out there had the Uvula operation to reduce snoring, and if so, did
it affect the sound on your instrument? As an individual's tone is essentially
produced before it hits the instrument (I'm with you on that Dan L.), I would
guess that it would affect it in some way, but is it positive, or negative? Or
is it just a matter of getting used to the new shape. I'm not getting this
operation, but my Dad had it, and that got me to thinking about it.
Thanks,
