Tony,

Thanks for your quick and detailed response to my post.

I am not trying to be obtuse. Your distinction between "blowing the horn well" and "support" make sense to me as you have described them. I opined that "your description of support was better than most" because you offered both a combination of clear imagery and a fairly mechanical/anatomical explanation with it.

I am familiar with the "magic diminuendo" phenomenon and use it -- I like your terminology for it. When I do this (and what I took to be your meaning of "support"), my feeling of lower abdominal tension created by abdominal muscle contraction balanced against diaphragmatic action *feels* constant and without change *independent* of loud or soft dynamics. I am definitely *not* an expert player and may still be misunderstanding you. However, I appreciate it that you care enough to try and get the point across.
