Round embouchure

Post by I.D.10-t »

Am I the only one that likes a round embouchure?

Ah...no...
I thought that the flute predated socks by a few days...weeks...etc. :D

We all takes what we can get, and enjoy it as we are able.

Ah yeah, since I'm here...round is better at times.
The wide angle Boehm thing seems like it is not needed except by those that can not find a hole that is any smaller...

Some people really get lost with that much room.

hey e. man, i have just the wilkes hj only (with an 'unmarked wylde' body gotten from andrewk). it's a tasty embouchure.

what timing...i had taken that pic (for a friend) not long ago so i suppose this was as good an opportunity as ever to use it here.
there are a couple more hj's which didn't make it in the pic, but i think the general theme can be seen.

I just can't push a round embochure hard enough on a Rudall. I have recently discovered that I should probably get a Pratten because my two Rudalls can't hold up to my playing they squeak when I push as hard as I want to, this means that I might be having a Flute sale pretty soon.

Does this have anything to do with this?

The more I play my round embuchure, the harder I play my square ones.
