Visible and audible embouchure tremor most prominent in middle and low registers.

Video 12.97 (C12c97): Trombone Lip-Pulling Dystonia
Loss of articulation clarity during note initiation improved by mechanically pulling the lip corners laterally.

Video 12.98 (C12c98): Severe Trombone Lip-Pulling Dystonia
Lateral separation of the lips producing air leakage and impaired tone control.

Video 12.99 (C12c99): Trombone Embouchure Dystonia with Sensory Trick
Lip-pulling dystonia relieved by touching the cheek, improving note attacks.

Video 12.100 (C12c100): Trombone Lip-Lock Dystonia
Involuntary lip clamping causing delayed articulation and impaired note initiation.

Video 12.101 (C12c101): Lip-Lock Embouchure Dystonia
Failure of lip release during articulation resulting in delayed sound production.

Video 12.102 (C12c102): Sensory-Responsive Lip-Lock Dystonia
Improved articulation through facial sensory trick application.

Video 12.103 (C12c103): Lip-Lock Dystonia with Multiple Sensory Tricks
Improvement in attacks by touching the chin or jaw.

Video 12.104 (C12c104): Tuba Embouchure Tremor
