drooling problem

Post by TheKingPrawn »

Anyone else with a susato have a drooling problem? I seem to create much more saliva with the susatos than with my feadog. It's kind of annoying. Is there a solution or a good way to clear it when it builds up?

No its not just you, I have a . . um . . .friend who has the same problem. :oops: Other than regularly using soapy water to help stop the moisture from clogging the whistle my acquaintance has no other advice.

Does it happen all the time or just a certain time of day? What keys are the whistles in? I have excess drool when playing a lower key than with a high key. What helps me is to take in air and out through the cornors of my mouth when playing. This make a small stream of air that has a drying effect inside my mouth.

I find I drool on my whistles more in the summer, disturbingly.

I play saxophone, so I'm used to keeping the reed wet when I'm playing. therefore, I tend to drool...a lot. My suggestion is when you take a breath, do it hard through your mouth...really work that diaphragm and suck all the moisture out. If you drool too much for this to work, try stuffing a cotton swab under your tongue :D
