I've seen what you are talking about and I have always been curious about the noticable lack of resistance in all of the discussion. I would have to say that I have always found it infinently easier to play high notes on the tuba than on the trumpet. My range decreases as I move to a smaller mouthpiece. I believe that resistance and the things we do to deal with it are a major part of the problem. The size of the human mouth, although some are assuredly larger than others, is for the most part the same. It is the mouthpiece that changes and I find it strange that many decide not talk about that.

Play low-play deep
