a
low Eb?

Finger a clarinet register B. Put about 1.5 - 2x as much mouthpiece in yo=
ur
mouth as you expect, to start with. As you practice you can keep the
mouthpiece position more or less the same as normal, then get the
multiphonic by slackening the embouchure and making a bigger oral cavity,=

by pushing the tongue down and to the back of the mouth. You can stabilis=
e
the multi by long note practice (preferably in an isolated part of town,
with no dogs or cats around). It really only works (for me anyway) on one=

or two notes up from the all-covered one, ie B usually, Bb with an Italia=
n
clarinet or Tony Pay's add-on bell. (BTW I loved his "2 bells for 2 notes=
"
!).

I just noticed that the original post from Simon Aldrich says "throat
Bb/throat G" multiphonic. The above will give (with a low Eb key or a
double bell) a
Bb-throat-pitch-but-clarinet-register-timbre/G-on-top-of-the-stave multi.=
I
have no idea how to do the throat Bb/throat G combo. Help! Tony????
