For whatever reason I sound like crap, and I have trouble keeping my chin down when I'm playing... I trip the whole double lip thing, it doesn't work... My chin always scrunches up when I play, and I'm wondering if there are any tips on how to keep your chin lower... hm... Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks...

Press down with your upper lip on the mouthpiece. You can practice doing that by placing your index finger sideways across your upper teeth and practice pressing down on the finger.
Notice that your chin points when you do that.

Try putting your barrel in your mouth and blowing in and out. It certainly makes me keep my jaw lower.

Well I already was pressing down with my upper lip on the mouthpiece for the most part.. Good advice, but the blowing through the barrel one works... I just have to get used to my mouth being in that position... I'm ok for the most part most times, but it really really messes up when I'm tonguing... so... yeah...
