move your address to the instrument in the direction of *letting it
vibrate* rather than blowing it -- which is what you want, of course.

EXACTLY!!!

For this reason, I practise a lot with my eyes closed, the better to FEEL the
instrument, feel the vibration. It realls helps to "free up" the entire
process.

Thanks Tony.....
