Baritone sax is my principal instrument, but I do play clarinet and=A0 =

have doubled regularly, including all the saxes and bass clarinet.=A0 =

I'm surprised that your normal double in a stage band is not the bass=A0 =

clarinet, although you may not have access to one. Although this is=A0 =

again a different embouchure it might be a way to ease the=A0 =

transition, and is a lot of fun in itself. You could try soprano sax=A0 =

as well to increase the flexibility of your embouchure. The real=A0 =

stinker is switching from that to flute. Most dance band doublers=A0 =

will be competent on sax, clarinet and flute at least, and will put=A0 =

in the time in the shed to stay that way, as you have been advised.=A0 =

Remember what Dizzy Gillespie said: Miss one day of practice, no one=A0 =

notices; miss two days, you notice; miss three days, everyone=A0 =

notices. I only wish that I followed that advice more rigorously, as=A0 =

it applies doubly to doubling.
