Wow...did this ever get heated.

2 days away to conduct a festival and I miss the fireworks! Oh well.

Trax, I've done alot over the last year and a half or so on finding my resonant center. My slide is now so far in that I could probably play Peter Bond's game and use the card on its edge. (I used to play with the slide about 3/4" out). I can really relax now that I've switched mouthpieces.

Playing on the low side does feel different. When the horn/room ring and vibrate, you feel it, first of all. You definitely notice a difference from an aural standpoint. Physically, it feels more relaxed. I almost feel like my body is made of jello, on a high C. My upper chest is relaxed so breath can fill up so I feel 4 sizes larger than I am.
