Getting a Balanced Sound
If you are experiencing difficulty getting sound from your instrument, it might
be a good time to review your embouchure.
Mouth shape and teeth alignment vary widely among individuals so take time
finding an embouchure that works best for you. Refer to the chart below and
try varying the position of your teeth, the angle that you hold the instrument,
etc., to find a well-balanced tone.
