Subj: Re: [kl] the embouchure - Double Lip, that is

Oh, jeez!

I was taught double-lip, by a boonies band teacher, many, many years ago.
Didn't know there was any other way. Was completely embarrassed when I finally
went to a "real" teacher (not that many years ago) and found out I was supposed
to be teething the thing.

So I switched -- not entirely successfully, and not without much trauma. But
reading all these posts, I have tried the ol' double pucker again, and it
still works. Then I do it the other way, and maybe it sounds better. I don't
know.

Can one be ambidextrous? Ambi . . . whatever?
