Just curious where is the tip of your tongue when you are blowing and drawing(Lip blockinga) most of the time? I have never really thought about it and started to try different things.
Do any of you play with the front part of your tongue against your bottom teeth? I understand your tongue does different things but juat curius as I was consciously placing the front of my tongue against my bottom teeth and was getting a nice tone on the lower holes.

Huh. I seem to keep the back of my tongue between my molars, touching the top ones, while the tip tends to be sort of in the middle of my mouth, more towards the top on straight notes, more towards the bottom on bends. The only time it touches the front of my bottom teeth is on blow-bends (I can't overblow yet so I have no idea on that.) Of course, there is a very real possibility that your whole question has made me so self-conscious about the whole thing that I may have completely changed what I was doing before I tried to figure it out.

I don't know if you mean as an occasional effect or that you do it all the time. My tongue hovers about in the middle of my mouth for blows and draws(not bends). I do put it on my bottom teeth for blow bends. Other than that, it feels very unnatural and uncomfortable and gives me thin lousy tone. I can thin my tone without moving it to my bottom teeth.I don't think it's a good technique to pursue.
