Tom:

I have always been able to play double-lip. My primary teacher was John
Mohler, himself a student of Ralph McLane, so I was exposed to it early.

I find myself playing double lip more and more, on bass as well as soprano.

My problem is playing while standing. How do YOU play double lip while doing
a recital, or a concerto?

I've tried several types of neckstraps. I really don't like the feel of
playing with a neckstrap, though

What do you do?
