Re: High flow/Low flow

Well I don't know of those particular distinctions are true.

For many years I have tended to small tip openings but use a LOT of air. I know very recently (but before the German thing) I realized that what I thought was constant abdominal pushing was merely the feeling of the diaphragm taking over most of the issue at lower dynamics.

I think this distinction HIGH FLOW - LOW FLOW are relative to the mouthpiece mostly though.........biting vs not biting ?????!!?????? After all, Mr. Mondie is using an M13 Lyre with nr 5 Vandoren V12s

Then again, this is a mysterious topic to me and would really welcome a long sit down with Mr. Mondie.
