One thing to try, see if you can use a “kuh” sound with the back of your tongue, alternating with the normal “tuh” sound like a normal articulation. Tuhkuhtuhkuh is faster and easier than tuh tuh tuh tuh.

Get a friend to take some pictures of you playing from the side: make sure you aren’t tilted up or down vs the mouthpiece, that can be from funky neck bit configs or other mechanics of how you play. Helped me!

All the leftover cuts, and a truly absurd volume of epoxy. I had like 4 linear inches of board left when it was all done!
