[Trombone-l] Trombone-l Embrouchure problem--help for a friend

[John Cather]

Yes, TPIN (Trumpet Players International Network) There are a couple  
of medical doctor types on the list.

Contact the list owner Micheal Anderson at tpin-owner at tpin.okcu.edu

He's a terrific guy and will want to help. Subscription to the list is  
necessary. Or I or another subscriber can post it for you. Let me  
know, I'd be glad to help.
