Gene,
In your post you mentioned that you switched to double lip embouchure. Do
you find it necessary to be sitting down while playing double lip to rest the
bell of the clarinet on your knee for support (for example, when playing
notes above the staff)? It seems that it would be difficult for one to play
double lip while standing. If you have encountered this, how have you dealt
with it when playing in a recital setting where the soloist would
traditionally be expected to stand while playing?
