Re: Double Lip Embouchure Pain

It sounds to me like you are playing with too much jaw pressure. You said you recently switched.
I noticed in my own playing, that the angle the clarinet enters my mouth is different when comparing double lip and single. SIngle the clarinet was quite vertical-double more angle, and more mouthpiece in the mouth.
I mention this because when I switched, I would go through periods for quite a long time after switching, where I would "forget" about the correct angle, revert back to the single lip angle, it wouldnt sound good, and I would resort to all sorts of embochure contortions to try and get it right-and in the end, I never could.
It took me a long time to "forget" about how I played single lip, especially in times when I was fatigued because of lots of playing. When tired, you revert to what you have known the longest. I mention this because maybe you are doing something from your old ways that is causing you pain-because there should be no pain with double lip playing.
