Hi -

In Joe Filisko's videos about types of sound, he's demonstrating tongue position using a small plastic dummy mouhpiece with hole positions cut out, which allows tongue position over the holes to be seen.

Do you think this is a helpful tool, adding visual feedback to the sound & touch we normally have to rely on?

If so, do you know where I can get one?

thanks
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy. Yes, I do feel it's a helpful tool. Joe has been working with http://www.turboharp.com and they are getting close to releasing it. I'll drop everyone a note in the "What's New" section of the Forum when it does.
