For the guys with facial hair, maybe, Embeardchure?>

LOL! In case that thread's not really most sincerely dead yet, here's
another, from the alt.music.saxophone NG:

Ombouchre: An ominous development, a poor embouchure that bodes ill for the
future, but the only recourse of the clarinetist who practiced too much and
got a chronic sore lip.

Yet another, from the TPIN trumpet digest:

Embechoure: Some eggspurts regard "Embechoure" as a mere misspelling of
"Imbechoure," the embouchure used by imbeciles. Others argue that
"Embechoure" appears to be a snobbish faux French spelling and insist that
the Embechoure is nothing but a fad: the beak-positioning of the hour.

(To whom no spelling looks right any more.)
