... weirdest & wildest idea thing helped me loosen up embouchure, jaw etc
... was thinking problem over, early one morning, just as the sun was rising, dropped towel on bathroom floor with mouth full of morning mouthwash, bent down to pick up it up without spilling mouthwash on floor ... and after spitting out in basin ... wow! eureka! ... that's it, got my answer!

... pressed lips firmly together (no bite) to stop mouthwash leaking while bending down
... lowered jaw to make bowl in floor of mouth to contain all the liquid

... yes, that's the position to play the reed RELAXED

Big difference though ... had to close throat to prevent swallowing mouthwash, can't do that to play oboe, have to really open up the throat ... say 'aaah' for the doctor as an image works for me

Weird associations, huh?
