Barbara,
A fascinating conjecture.
I though all of us Loree players were supposed to be instinctively
lipping the notes in tune. Lipping notes in tune is also necessary on
dark-toned Buffet clarininets. Apparently out-of-tune scales are the
price that you pay for better tone. The in-tune oboes and clarinets that
I've played didn't have nearly as nice a tone.
