Playing Low

Hello Everyone

First let me say thanks for having me here on TM. I have been a lurker for a number of years and I have always been impressed with the the level of knowledge and maturity present on the forums here.

Let me preface my query with a little background info. I had an embouchure change(my third and final hopefully) about 6 months ago that really did wonders for my playing. The only thing that I felt was lacking initially was the ability to play clearly in the low register; a problem I was hoping would correct itself. Unfortunately it hasn't become THAT much easier over the time I have spent to play in the low register. Around low c things become a little more "airy" or "fuzzy" and sort of lose the characteristic trumpet sound that I feel I have from g in the staff on up, with an inability to play below low A.

In a trumpet world filled with people who want to play higher, higher, and higher this may seem like an odd request, but how can I play lower!!

Thanks

Nick
