Anybody here play a brass instrument?

Does anyone here play a brass instrument? I want to know if anyone has "The Balanced Embouchure" e-book because it's not sold in stores and I don't like paying online. Or if someone finds the file in a torrent or something, I'll be eternally grateful

Lol, k. See, my problem is that when I play the trumpet, my embouchure gets weird and my tone and range and everything gets really bad. This recently happened. So I thought I'd buy the book since it has lots of good reviews, but I don't order online and it's not sold in stores. So I need the e-book.

BUT

But my embouchure and trumpet playing in gerneal gets a lot better (better than normal) when I used to play tuba. I guess this is since the tuba mouthpiece is so big it works the whole lip muscles and gives it extra strength for the smaller trumpet mouthpiece.

So I guess instead of buying the book if I can't get an e-book, I guess buying a tuba mouthpiece and doing slurs and just buzzing in the mouthpiece will work my embouchure?

What do you think?

Dunno if it's considered brass, but BeefMan plays the skin flute

That might work. Just be sure you make sure it's what you wanna do before you go out and buy a new tuba moutpiece lol. SHit's expensive.
