The advices are excellent and right on the mark.
Thank you Ken and Karl for taking the time write them up.
I am in the progress of getting back into shape, after many years off. [I find it helpful for my day at work to happen after an hour practice in the morning]
This is also an opportunity to re-evaluate what I do and if something does not work, change it.
An old bad habbit of mine is to choke up the air stream while going higher, from A3 above then the down slurs require some "fiddling" to avoid squeaking. While I didn't initially understand it was a bad habit, I could hear how "choking" degrades the sound, and complicates articulation. I started realizing that keeping a good steady air stream, is not only simpler, but all that is really needed, so in sort of speak I am "unlearning to ride the bike" ...
