| NE, you have a very valid point, and one that I conceded to at the end of my post, is that maybe his teacher does know what he's talking about. Since I'm self taught, I've never had a teacher try to impart to me their ideas about my sound.
kdawg, you play on a Holbert mouthpiece? Where are you from? If you live close enough to Scotty, you should talk to him about making some adjustments to your Holbert equipment. He usually has a good idea of what to do with a mouthpiece to get you the right feel and sound.
Good luck dude. I hope that everything works out.
P.S. One of the reasons that I have never opted to change my embouchure much is because I won't compromise on my sound, and most of the experimentation I have done toward that end hurts rather than helps my sound. I won't do that for a few more notes on my range.
