Hi Manny,

I've been trying to work buzzing into my routine and have found it really helpful. However, I'm having difficulty buzzing with heavier mouthpieces. I have no problem buzzing through Concone or Bach chorales with my STC-1 C12, but when I try it on my Prana STC-3 C12 Slap I find myself physically adjusting much more and sometimes unable to get a sound in the lower registers. This happens to a lesser degree when I try it on my Prana STC-3 C12. I feel like I'm hitting me head against the wall with the heavier mouthpieces, but when I buzz on the STC-1 and then play my C997 with the corresponding mouthpiece, everything opens up. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jimi
