I hate to tell all of the respondants, but you really can't compare double reed embouchers to those of a single reed. That's like comparing my clarinet embouchure to my cello bowing technique - it's irrelevant. The only way to hurt your clarinet embouchure is if you use a sax, or bass clarinet one instead. The problem with single reed doubling is that once you learn the other embouchures you can confuse them. I play all the clarinets, flutes, saxophones, and the cello. I started on clarinet (as you did?), and my problem is playing the other insturments with my clarinet embouchure. The main thing my teaher told me was to think the insturment I was playing at the time, this handles fingering mixups and embouchure problems.
