This means no passive reduction but abdominal activity to maintain the tone until the end, right?

Am I understanding you, Greg, right, that the Decrescendo is produced by gradually reducing the amount of air that is actively applied, and…[Read more]

As soon as the sound starts, I notice that the forward movement of the tissue reduces significantly. Is this ok or is this a bad sign of clamping too much?
