Thanks Jarmo
It is exciting to hear from Finland. I have three children with forest Sammi ( a semi nomadic people from northern Scandinavian countries ) ancestry and cultural values.
Tarzan would envy my lip muscles. Today I am doing much better with teeth far removed fron lips. Late this morning I squeezed out about 30 lifeles notes on a single breath with just lip pressure. A few minutes ago I squeezed out 30 notes per breath with either overtone or undertone as I chose. It seems easier to keep the inner lip edges on the mouthpiece and reed if my teeth are pulled farther away. I still can not keep just the edges of lips over the teeth unless I bite and use the mouthpiece to force them in. The mpc patch may soon be irrelavant . Its sole purpose is to protect from my crooked teeth . With teeth far removed and mpc in a firm playable state of air pressure I can move the mpc back and forth at least an inch. I can also move it up and down by about 3/4 inch. Most of the notes have terrible color but minute by minute I see improvement. Double toothless embouchure is looking more promising with every minute of practice.
