The music flows powerfully and freely like a river from the mountains of the mind to the audience of the sea. The instrument is only a mindless brass tube between the two. The music tells us everything we need to know.

It is nothing more than mindful mouthpiece playing (singing and buzzing) into a mindless tube. The mouthpiece is the real instrument (mirror) that reflects the musical awareness of the conscious mind. The tube is only a receiver of sound. That is why the mouthpiece is inserted into the receiver of the leadpipe. The tube itself cannot be a source of sound.
