Re: When can I exhale?

It sounds like you are taking too much air, at least the way you describe it.
as far as your mouthpiece- I am only a bit familiar with the M13 Lyre. As I remember it, it was something I would have been comfortable using and I am a slight fellow. And people have told me that I like more close mouthpieces. The tip is close and the lay is short. For you, that might be too small.
I suggest that you try a few bigger/longer mouthpieces. I am not familiar with all of the VD models but I think there are comparitive facing charts floating around. Stick with VDs unless you can get to a store that you can take your time at.
But before you go 'shopping', try taking less air- regardless of what your teacher said then, it doesn't seem to work now.
Ps. I should mention that I only sampled an M13 for a few minutes a while ago- take my advice on that lightly if you feel like.
