It describes six embouchure expressions: a) an ample smile involving the whole face which produces a wide, thin air jet; b) relaxed lips pulled to the sides of the mouth producing a more oval air jet; c) a sarcastic smile with the upper lip slightly more tense producing a different air jet; d) leaning forward lips producing a round, concentrated air jet; e) tense, thin lips causing an unfocused air jet; and f) relaxed or leaning forward lips producing a more concentrated air jet.

    Gianni Lazzari - Il flauto traverso

    Some facial expressions of the embouchure.


    Front view: a) "stiff" embouchure with an
    ample smile involving the whole face: the
    resulting air jet is wide and thin, like an "air
    blade".

    b) "relaxed" embouchure with the lips slightly


    pulled on the sides of the mouth: the resulting
    air jet is more oval.
    c) sarcastic smiling embouchure, with the
    upper lip slightly more tense than the lower
    one.

    d) embouchure with leaning forward lips: the


    resulting air jet is round shaped and
    concentrated because the labial vent
    ("chimney") is deeper.

    Side view; e) When the lips are tense and thin


    the air jet misses focus and concentration (this
    comes with the "tense" or "smiling"
    embouchure).

    f) when the lips are relaxed, or even leaning


    forward, the air jet is more concentrated. The
    arrows show approximately the muscular
    direction and tension. The French call pince
    the action of "pinching" or "plunking" the air
    coming out of the embouchure vertically
    tightening the lips
    (see, for example, the arrows in an almost
    vertical opposition in picture b).
