Glenn,

I think of it more in terms of the cliche "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts." Each component of the circuit (the player, the mouthpiece and the instrument) works together with the other circuits to produce a product. I find it more difficult to isolate the mouthpiece, especially the heavier prana mouthpieces, even though they are much easier to play when used with the right instrument.
