Absolutely......it was temporary....but it did take at least an hour for
me to be able to play clarinet/bass clarinet again. What is funny is that
I consider myself a pretty flexible doubler.......clarinets/saxophones/a
fairly pitiful oboe/and some easy brass. I have played second trumpet
parts in duets in church before........or the third part to the Bugler's
Holiday by Anderson, but the switch back and forth is still fairly
debilitating.
