Her horn angle is close to straight out, which is more common with the &#8220;very high placement&#8221; type players. However, she uses very little <a href=\"http:\/\/wilktone.com\/?p=41\">embouchure motion<\/a> but from what I can spot (the best look I notices was at 1:00 into the video) it appears that she is pulling down to ascend and pushing up to descend. If true, that would classify her embouchure type as the &#8220;medium high placement&#8221; type. With this embouchure type it&#8217;s less common to have the straight out horn angle (although it does happen), which makes me wonder if I&#8217;m correct. However, with &#8220;medium high placement&#8221; embouchure type players it&#8217;s not uncommon that their embouchure motion can eventually become very minimal as they develop to advanced levels, so that may be another clue. It&#8217;s usually easier to spot the embouchure motion with players belonging to the other two embouchure types. So my best guess, for now, is &#8220;medium high placement&#8221; embouchure type. Either way, she plays extremely well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, the bit where the conductor steps out and moves her slide for her is silly. And I&#8217;m impressed that the two of them were able to make that sounds as good as it did. It reminds me of another YouTube video that I&#8217;ll just tease you about for now and post later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">What embouchure type did you think?
