Fuzzy attacks are often caused by not hitting the note exactly on pitch. For me, that means microscopically undershooting it, and that would be from inadequate air support at the instant the air begins. The lower the note, the easier it is to be off a bit. The problem could be the choice of openi

Next time visiting Haagstone I will try their horn with my crook & let you know the result. BTW: Haagstone makes my Wiener Horns also, but differently than theirs, and they produce another horn for Tomboeck Wolfgang, a really good horn. Jungwirth horns are excellent also, but a bit too modern in so

Hello Matt, the lightning fast attack of the single note is more important than the fast repetitive attack. How to get a fast action of the tongue, well, not only a fast action but also a clean action ? Think about the European pronounciation of the consonant "t" as in "tack", similar to the Englis
