Re: "learning" to play a softer reed?

Lately I have been trying to "TMM" that is, "take more mouthpiece". This was one of Mitchel Lurie's sayings at his master classes ... most folks (me included) don't take enough MP ...

I have noticed that it does damp/warm the sound and improves articulation. Been trying ... slow progress.

One interesting point that I heard on this video that was posted recently on this board:

If I understand correctly, Robert Marcellus, after getting new upper front false teeth, started applying more pressure with the upper lip to the beak of the MP ( I guess to stabilize his teeth) .. this has a reflexive effect of raising the roof of the mouth and opening up the sound. One of our local professors recommends this and I wondered why, until I heard an explanation. Watch the video ... pretty good information ...
