| Re: The embouchure I study with Lew Soloff from time to time. His concern w/ placement, at least pertaining to me had to do with the spot on the chops where the bottom of the rim makes contact. As long as it was not in the red of the LOWER lip, he was pleased. (BTW, he was pleased).
I've seen Chris Botti play and, although underrated as a high note man--- he plays a high G in concert-- his mpc is very high on his chops. Seems to me that if you practice smart, most any place will do. |
