Re: American v. European embouchures?

Technically the embouchure only works one way - it controls the opening of the reed, and stops air from leaking out the side.
However, those who play on short scrape reeds (usually europeans) tend to pull their lips further in than those playing long-scrape reeds.

One isn't really better than the other, but the more the reed is tucked into the mouth, the less flexible the tone becomes.
