Hi,

I have really enjoyed the discussion on this thread. I am a doubler (all the saxes and clarinets plus oboe and bassoon) and have had no problems over the years even from clarinet to sax which is mentally, a tough one until you "be the ball." Oops, that's golf and I should have said "be the instrument." I think erything has been said except I need to recognize my teacher.

To Karl Witzler, my college woodwind teacher at Ohio U so many years ago, "Thanks Karl." You even showed how to make oboe reeds (which I mastered enough to make some for students that worked and earner Superiors at contest).

Without the gifted teacher to help you over the humps, learning the correct embouchure, fingerings, etc. or just learning to correctly get the basics can be tough.

PS If there is such a thing as re-incarnation Lord, please bring me back as a bassoon player! Now there is a really cool instrument.
