Re: My Lesson w/Roger Ingram

Miles,

I agree with your statement... Here's the thing: He is a huge proponent of small gear.... Tight mouthpiece backbore (30 drill ) and a horn with a bore size of under .460! Thats where you get your feedback from to compensate for a large apeture. The students you notice playing like this are probably on standard out of the case mouthpieces which have deeper cup sizes as well as larger throats.

The amount of compression he uses is way more than I'm use to. Infact, after 2 days of breathing and tightening up my core I do feel physically sore to a point.. I'm not hurting but I do feel like I've sparked some different muscles in the process...
