I noticed at the end, that last longgg note, that while his reservoir was deflating, it seemed to be holding pitch quite well, very impressive! I'm sure there are exhaustive discussions at oomphalapomatroniumforum.com debating how often the "bladder" on the reservoir must be changed...

Well, I've been thinking of giving up the PSG and trying something else. This just might be the thing. Of course, it looks at least as heavy as a PSG :(
