      So Mr. Jacobs didn't have a lot of chops>?  Obviously he was
extraordinarily efficient
as was Herseth and Farcas.  But my point was that he obviously had enough
chops to hang with that brass section.   I'm not talking about physical,
bodily strength.  This would be strictly an embouchure thing.  I think you
have to have some chops to play like that efficient  or not, one lung and
all.  That didn't make his face weak did it?

Oh  I see... I misunderstood what you meant by ³bull strength.² I was under
the impression you were referring to how strong they were physically. Sure
he had strong chops... I guess.. Tuba players in general don¹t seem to have
near the endurance issues that high brass players have.
