He says it takes him only 20 years to get it okay. :eek:

I have a digereedoo, and I have not mastered the circular breathing technique. It certainly would be a great skill to use with this instrument, but damn.

I can only inhale so quickly. And, I can only hold so much air in my cheeks. The balance is not anything close to equal. Plus the digereedoo is a high volume instrument, not in loudness, but in the amount of air it takes to make it sound like, you know, a digereedoo. I have toyed with the idea of making the mouth hole smaller, so I can get away with a tighter smaller pursing of my lips, but I can't think of how to do this... Beeswax around the opening? Anyhow, circular breathing is real. Real hard.

There are few great Jazz trumpeters that can do it, don't recall the names right now.

Yes, you are supposed to warm the beeswax and mold it to your preference.
