I'd heard that. Never tried it though. Can see why it would work.

When I first started, I used to take a jiff lemon squeezy thing on stage with me. - Its really hard to play with a dry mouth. It didn't take long for my saliva glands to catch up but it was really useful for a time. :)

Having said that, I do have one tuba pupil who sits there with spit literally running off his chin while he's playing. It took me a couple of years to be able to look directly at him when he plays!

Did you know that humans are the only species that consumes the milk of a different species? And that, apparently, in Japan, milk is referred to as cow juice? - feel free to call me on that one, I'm off to eat a piece of cheese! ;)
