Dan,

I don't take offense whatsoever and welcome some quotes from that letter if you have it. Though we all should be learning and changing, I don't recall there being anything contradictory in what I said about the Viotto experience of five years ago. I did ultimately find the Wurlitzer M3+ with #3 German Legere to work best for me..........and that led me to using the German cut Legeres on Boehm mouthpieces (it was a pretty involved transition to what I do now).

As for the "effort" thing.

I don't understand how more effort (or lack of effort) can add (or subtract) to the quality of the sound or the dynamic. You either execute a certain timbre and dynamic or you don't. Whether you expend more energy is really just that - more energy. Would that not be a negative if you could accomplish the same task without it?

That's all I'm saying.
