I heard G suggest one way: SMILE.
It makes the corners of your mouth go wider.
Also, stay away from chromettas for practicing that stuff - their
mouthpieces are WICKED!

Hi Scorcher,
I've only worked on one chrometta and I didn't get a chance to play it once
it was back in one piece.

What do you mean by "their mouthpieces are WICKED" ?
Are they harsh on the mouth?
