Re: Has anyone tried the Wind-o? (endorsed by Yahuda Gilad)

Hi Nellsonic,

I'm friends with Rob Patterson and Phil Paglialonga, and the biggest question I had for them was whether they had continued to use it over time. They both had made it part of their daily practice.

I have one, and it's remarkably efficient at isolating the muscles and (at the very least) bringing increased awareness to their actuation.

Even with the lightest resistance, it's possible to wear yourself out very quickly. I agree with Paul's thoughts on the embouchure/air stream and how they are integral to each other -- the Wind-O does a good job of allowing that relationship to exist -- but it's not playing the clarinet.

Burt Hara's was the significant endorsement for me.
