I wouldn't see any either except for the fact that one wouldn't expect a direct co-relation between brass breath pressure and hernias and burst blood vessels in eyes either. Relative to Bernoulli's principle we are talking about 32 PSI for a "double C". It's sort of like blowing up your car tire.Looking at Dizzy's neck, you have to wonder about "excess" tissue. Any other brass players here?
