Re: air support revisited

Books by Keith Stein and David Pino both give excellent and detailed descriptions of breath support mechanics. It's always seemed to me a bit like squeezing a toothpaste tube -- if you squeeze from the bottom of the tube you have best control because the force can only go in one direction. If you squeeze in the middle of the tube the pressure goes both ways, with less control of what comes out the open end. Supporting your breath from the pelvis by firming pelvic and abdominal muscles (with belly in or out) means the only egress for your wind is out through the mouth, so you have more control of what goes through the horn.
