Geting back on the horse (not Black Beauty)

Posted by Duff Chops on April 29, 2008:

Hello to all in the horn fraternity,

I've just started playing again after a four year break. I was a professional for 15 years and never really had a day off playing, but my chops feel like a pair of ancient bicycle inner tubes at the moment.

Has anyone got any tips to get the old embouchure back up to racing speed? I've built up the practice gradually over the last couple of weeks with flexibility exercises and scales, any fool proof ways of recapturing the range and strength?

Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom.
