| The answer is that it depends on your chops. If you've been playing a while, then you can probably use a full size pencil. If you've only been playing a matter of months, probably start with a small pencil. Experiment around and see which one works better. You'll know when you have the right length as your embochure muscles will start to 'burn' from holding the pencil up.
