Saxophone Embouchure – it is the connection between you and the horn that helps express the sound you want.
The tenor sax embouchure or bari sax embouchure is made slightly easier if you have a more square jaw since the mouthpiece is larger. Metal and hard rubber mouthpieces also have different shapes. So find what is comfortable for you.

Great stuff Neal. I started with my lip rolled over too much. The tone was fine but my lip hurt after a couple hours of practice. Now it is a real pleasure to play. Just another day in the journey.
Thanks for the info and all the cool things on your web-site!
Take care!
