They discuss the chin between 48:00 and 52:00 of this video.

I did not understand what they were talking about. 

Also, just before that they talk about pressure, and she recommends 1 kilogram. 

As I watch her, it looks like what I feel like I'm doing in the ultra-low rage (for me, pedal G and lower).  Basically, trying to stuff more lip into the mouthpiece by jutting the chin forward.

But "flex" is not a world I would have used to describe it.   

Yeah, there is a muscle movement to it so maybe that's how she thinks of it.

Does she have a face scale or something?     How is she measuring that?

I didn't listen to the whole thing.  I probably should.  She does use a lot of pressure. 

I'm always intrigued by how solid a horn can play in the low range on that tiny mouthpiece.  I try to play low without dropping the jaw, though that does work.  It wasn't clear to me if she drops the jaw or just the chin. 

At 49:20 she is clearly lowering her jaw but she's not playing so we don't know if that is what she really does or merely thinks that's what she does.



There's a lot of stuff there that must be horn player jargon.

"setting on" vs. "setting in" ?

Setting in (einsetzen) means anchoring the rim on the red of the lower lip.  At least that's how I interpret Farkas. 

Setting on has the lip inside the mouthpiece.

I think my mother probably "set in."  I have vague memories of some discussion about it.  But she passed 20 years ago, and had been disabled for some time before that, so memories are not clear.

Does this have any equivalent for something as large as a bass trombone mouthpiece?
