Nick,
Lately I've been thinking that much of the way we adjust our chops for upper register production involves the mild pressure of our jaw against our lower lip. In turn this contact against the lower lip is used to either pull back or push forward the sides of the upper lip.

If we pull back? The horn angle drops a tad when we ascend. Push forward? The horn angle rises during ascending phrases.

It is my idea that by manipulating the upper lip with the lower does effectively reduce or increase the length of the upper lip's vibrating surface. Not by making a smaller aperture. As this only produces "mosquito" type notes sbove high C. But rather by shortening the lateral (forward and back) length of the upper lip's vibrating swing.

In turn this technique roughly mirrors the movement of the fingers on a stringed instrument up and down the fret board.

Comments? Always welcome.
