how would one go about doing this??? just like regular but with the
mouthpiece upside down (seems to make sense to me)??? also what about teeth...what do
you all do with your teeth when you play??? in any way the reed or mouthpiece
is (does everyone do it that same)...Thank You

I'm afraid I'm the one who wrote about playing occasionally with the
reed on top. I do it to strengthen my upper lip, since I play double
lip, and also early clarinet. It does seem to free up the sound a
little.

At a master class, Gino Cioffi said he learned to play with the reed on
top. He switched only when he came to the U.S. and couldn't get a job
unless he played reed-down.
