Could you please elaborate on the "Tommy Johnson/Gene Pokorny shift?" I do use a pivot when I play in the pedal range. From pedal Eb down I shift to using more lower lip to let the notes pop out. I don't know if that is a BAD thing. I have always done this. I do not sacrifice tone quality, resonance, or pitch when I shift, so I don't consider what I am doing bad. Anyone else do this????
