At some point, for me, this increasing engagement - firmness - indeed becomes *effort,* which I, too, want to avoid.
Agreed! Just pushing back on the "with x, y, or z mouthpiece, I don't have to work at all!" stuff I see posted here all the time.
Though I'm sure these mouthpieces sound fantastic and, most likely, Paul and others are getting positive results, just because less effort might improve someone's playing, it doesn't follow that no effort is the ultimate goal. And sure, it could be detrimental for a particular student to hear "use more effort," but it could be equally detrimental to hear "don't use any effort."
