Help me a little with your use of the word "emission" please.
Hi John,
By emission I mean the expiration of the air in the instrument, which requires a different approach in the different instruments, especially in the baritone which has much more resistance and, if you exaggerate in the emission you get a very bad sound. As for the corona virus epidemic I live in the region where there has been the highest number of infections and deaths, but the infection is still contained in my city. Here is a curfew, we are relegated to the home, we can only go out for proven reasons of necessity ( by food, go to work), the shops, except for the groceries, are closed, as well as many factories, except those of essential importance. I work on alternate days and, during the 7 km journey to go to work through deserted roads, there is no one on the road, really bleak: it seems to be in the movie " I am legend" with Will Smith". Hopefully the situation will resolve itself, I didn't take us right now that I'm 3 months after retirement. However I am serene, I live in a single house with a large garden: I cannot go out to do my usual routes with the racing bike, but I have a gym for bodybuilding equipped and a lot of time available to play my instruments. And how is the situation there?
