My teacher recently gave me a copy of an article by Michael Webster. It was
the 22nd in a series of articles using excerpts from a teaching method in
progress, by Michael Webster, (associate professor of clarinet at Rice
University's Shepherd School of music..). This was a very interesting
article about the shape of the oral cavity/inside of the mouth, comparing
tongue and throat activity among woodwind instruments. Studies made on this
date back from as far as 1965. This particular article was called "Partial
to Partials" Part 11. I think it was published in "The Clarinet"
(International Clarinet Association) and it must have been published in a
recent edition. I am still in the process of subscribing to this journal
( having problems getting Canadian dollars to the USA, no visa internet
payment facility available... still trying to figure out how to pay. ) I am
sure many members on this list are receiving "The Clarinet". It is possible
that there have been articles like this, about the embouchure, in previous
publications.

I thought Michael Webster's article was magnificent.
