RE: [Harp-L] Harp-L] Re: a question for all you toungue blockers outthere...

When they were both in Atlanta, Jason and Dennis both represented their
preferred embochures well and there was quite a bit of friendly chiding
between them. Jason puckers for most (all?) stuff, Dennis is almost totally
tongue-block (admitted he puckers on the blow-bend 10's sometimes).
Hopefully the discussion doesn't dissolve into embochure-wars, let's all get
along :^) Anyway, they agreed that the bottom line is, just by listening to
the *great* players (dead and alive) that use *all* embochures between them
(some exclusively, some mix/match), it really doesn't matter, everyone
should find what works best for them personally, and go for it. One can make
anything sound good anyhow if one practices enough :^)

embrochure? WVa Bob
