The air that emanates from your embouchure loses a lot of heat on
expansion, so your mouthpiece heats up, leaving much cooler air to travel
through the horn. To transfer heat through the horn, it is most efficient
to remove the mouthpiece and blow directly into the leadpipe. You can get
your mouthpiece warm by holding it in your hand, until you reach age 60 or
so. :(

Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius? (tech-joke)
