Same embouchure for different facings?

Author: Dan Shusta

Fobes Eb mouthpiece facing is 15mm (Brand 30). The new Selmer Focus/Concept has a 23mm (Brand 46 facing).

Can a player use the same standard, single lip, French embouchure for facings that are so far apart? The reason I ask is due to the wider aperture opening of the longer facing.

Does the wider aperture affect the embouchure formation that much on a standard sized mouthpiece?

Would one of the facings be more difficult or easier than the other to form?

Thanks.
