Glad to hear it!

But when playing from lung air pressure this action doesn't "compress" the air approaching the aperture.

I think you are correct - it may actually narrow the air stream to direct to a smaller portion of the lips. But the concept is still valid.

@@trumpetthoughts most players allow the tongue to move in various fashion or not depending on what they are doing with the whole mouth posture including rhe lips. The air does not have to be "directed" to the lip aperture. It only has to be allowed to be exposed to the air pressure created by the exhalation action. Yet another imaginary concept.

@@trumpettech456 You are right, in the typical player. But I think most of the world's best, most efficient players, are playing more like the way I've described.
