Re: Testing for leaks

In my experience this is normal. Your experiment is very similar to an exercise in overtones Dr. Spring at ASU showed me. The only difference was that he uses a cork to plug the bell and I think he also would do it chromatically from low E to Low G. Don't quote me on that though. He would move his tongue to get different overtones. You can also do the exercise without a cork starting at open G and going down chromatically. You should be able to get three overtones per note. It is a great exercise for helping you understand how the tongue's position affects the notes you are trying to play. As for where the sound is coming from, I don't have a clue.
