This is a great thread going on. I would also share what I hae learned about
the double lip embouchure -- I used it when i first started playing clarinet
in the 5th grade, not knowing "any better" I saw no one else was doing what I
was doing, so i did what everyone else was doing. MANY years later, it was
brought up in a masterclass with Dr. Larry Maxey, at KU and his opinion was
that the double lip embouchure if mastered could produce a better tone, etc...
but was more difficult to master and like Roger Garrett said. If you haven't
already been doing it it's not a good idea to switch.

Now it's my turn for a couple of q's.

There have been lots of bass clarineters out there on the list lately. I was
wondering who are the most highly regarded teachers out htere? I know of
Stanley Hasty and Elsa Verdehr for soprano clarinet (both well known teachers
of my teachers) but other than Tom Aber in the Kansas City area, I know of no
other great bass clarinet teachers. So, klarineters, what say ye?
