Hi Bill,

I play a Yamaha WX7, which I have set up to require the same emmbochure
which I use for my clarinet playing. I use it on stage in a group which
plays mostlly Irish & Scottish music, and have found that it saves me
from carrying around at least 3 extra instruments to each job.

There is a listserv called WIND-L specifically for wind synth
players...if you are interested in subscribing, send me a message!

Best wishes,

Robert Resnik
