After starting my comeback 4 years ago I realized I needed to redo my embouchure and technique cuz it was wrong. I ended up protecting the Red from the MP as much as possible, so both lips are rolled in a little with the MP braced against the lower lip outside the Red. It feels 1/3 upper but looks about 50 50. It dramatically helped with range and sound, along with learning to play without excess pressure. I agree you have to find what works with your unique mouth.

@Dr-GO great song and great job with it.

I'm partial to Stevie.

@Dr-GO That's a great concept. What era and region did you perform? I'd love it if there was a need for a P&W horn band. Interest seems to be spotty in our church.

Or EW&F

@Kehaulani

It really looks like he did a review of all the trumpets available to him at the local music store.

I respect that he took a shot trying to become a trusted instrument review source but damaging credibility is not a good first step
