Nick -

I would say that the majority of us have a "break". For years I could play a double B & C but not an A. Now I can play an A but no Bb or B. I think it probably has to do with a number of things.

I used to live with Greg Gisbert. If he found a note that was difficult for him (not many were), he would just try to squeak it out very softly - in order to find "the slot". He would do that for hours on end (it seemed!), but after a while the note would start to come in to focus. Once it slotted, he would put some real air behind it. It became an actual note. Keep in mind, this process can take weeks.

It worked for him but to be honest, I've never tried it. Any other ideas out there - particularly from people that have no break?
