Glenn responds: "In his Masterclass he said he switched to mixed pucker/TB embouchure because he was developing some sort muscle fatigue or strain on the right side of his

Mike wonders: Do you angle the harp significantly when tongue blocking? Pucker/lipping? Do you point the harp at your right ear or your left ear? Why? Do you find that the angle enables/facilitates a tighter air seal cup around the harp?
