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 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.
