Udu embouchure



This is Tommy Emmanuel, whom I was once told of by creepy guitar Chris freshman year. I admit, he's pretty good. In this vid you can hear the udu-esque sound over the sound hole. I just received some info on two guitar makers who add two sound ports to the heel of the body which I would like to hear played as an udu.

Here's what I found with a quick google search:
The Hill Guitar Company
McKnight Guitars
Thurman Guitars

Also, my ecology class started today, without me. Thankfully I met an old friend at lunch who is actually in that class and I was raring to go during the second half. French speaking embouchures are a dream to watch. The upper lip extending over like a tent, the corners tight. It's like they're always ready for a kiss.
