Jerry brings up a good point. One test is how much upward bend there is to a low G. If it's hard to bend the note upward, chances are you have a horn that is pretty stable. If it goes up a major 2nd or (gasp) more, I'd consider that pretty rubbery and I wouldn't be surprised if it was hard to focus in the low register.

My guess remains with an overactive tongue and I'll throw in a tighter-than neccesary tummy as well. Want fries with that?
