Subj: [kl] leak
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 11:22:35 -0400

Okay it is not a palatal air leak, but I am leaking through my
mouthpiece. I believe that I am blowing too hard or too much. I tried
blowing less air through the horn, but that just made the sound worse or
nonexistent. In doing so I also made my lips feel worse because I was
biting which is not good, and makes my lips feel sore. I am supporting.
Maybe I should support less, or maybe it is my embouchure. It is not my
reeds. I am sick of the hearing the air.
Maybe I will support less or do something to my embouchure. I don't
what it is. Oh well... I will keep banging my head
