Amateur or not, I used to be pro. level and I'd like to return to that level (admissible to an M.Mus.) at least by the time I retire... I have quite some time left although one can HOPE for a very early retirement!

Thank you and James for your tips: I will use them. It's possible that my walk-buzzing might be over-tiring the muscles - just like weed-whacking my entire lawn today got my arms shaking (it rained a lot these past few weeks... the mower doesn't cut it)! It's possible that working the air strong and fast is fine for the gut but risky for the smaller facial muscles.

I'll continue with less pressure and easier reeds. Hopefully, this will still help me gain the strength back like the days I was able to do 6-8 hours a day without worry.
