| Re: the myth of "fast air"
What if we took a mouthpiece with the smallest hole possible and still play. Then we took the most powerful player in the world and had him or her play on it. Lets say the mouthpiece hole is so small that the player was always pushing the maximum amount of air through it.
When the player moves the tongue to the roof of his mouth, does the pitch go up? We have already restricted the amount of air so why would the pitch change? |
