| Dear Pete,
Welcome to TM... I hope you enjoy the folks around here as much as I have.
The duble buzz that people experience comes mostly from abdominal tension that manifests itself as a confusion in the oral cavity where the tongue thinks one thing and the lips another. The starvation from lack of wind support is the final nail in the coffin.
Breath normally when you play, keep the chest from collapsing when you exhale and let the abs expand and contract just as they do when you breathe normally, like a bellows. There's no need for any kind of stiffness anywhere. The most important thing is that you need to be conscious of what sort of sound you want. You must create the sound on each and every note. Take nothing for granted . Think of that when you play those scales. Each and every note.
