Thanks for the tip Donna. I tried it out and discovered that my chin is wrinkle free while I play - so that's good to know. My practice time however, is still being limited by "cheek exhaustion" though. Seems that my cheeks near the cheekbones is my weak link. Once they get sore then my jaw wants to take up the slack and my sound quality goes down. I'm in an apartment and always striving to play quietly ... could this be why? Is it harder on the embouchure to play softly than it is to play loud?
Playing softer is more challenging than people think, but I am guessing in this situation it may be something else. I'll shoot a video on in in the near future.
I don't quite understand your comment, but I am assuming you are saying you didn't see a difference? If you didn't hear one, the first time, with the bunched chin was flat.

So you're not supposed to use your chin??
