dbacon is an unknown quantity at this point
I start with my lips open. When I start the air, I bring my lips together
only as much as it takes to get a sound. I never tighten
them down so as to make it difficult to force the air through. Only I can
determine by feel how much that should be. You have to find out for
yourselves how that feeling has to be for you. This is NOT the only way it
can be done. Just mine.
