This was awesome!! Were you doing circular breathing?

[@jbargermusic]

Thank you Matthew! My cheeks did puff a little bit at the end of this etude, but I don't recall circular breathing on this one. Sometimes I will cheat and take a quick circular breath on the longer phrases in Ferling, but I don't believe so in this one.

[@matthewseebran3030]

Love it! Also I know this was performed on alto but what is your baritone and tenor setup?

[@jbargermusic]

Thank you! On tenor, I use a Selmer S90 180 mouthpiece with a D'Addario 3.0+ reed and for baritone I use a Rousseau 5R with a D'Addario 3.0+ or 3.5 reed.
