Hello all!
I'd like to know where I could find the fingerings of some (or all if they're all known)
double, triple etc. sounds.
A month ago I asked my teacher, he said he would seek, but he never answered me and I don't want to plague him with my questions. His rather classical and it seems to be that he doesn't like very much that I play others styles .
Do you know some that you could describe via Internet?
Thanks in advance! (and good night for those who are in Europe)
Jonathan

I think what you're asking about is called multphonics. After seeing (and hearing) a couple demonstrations in this I'm most courious about this technic also. The best I heard was on trombone by Dr. Wayne Dyess (Music Dept., Lamar U., Beaumont, Tx.) and he did some multiphonic stuff on that bone that was fantastic!

[re: Willie's mention of brass multiphonics -
Normally on a brass instrument, you play one pitch and hum another (generally higher) pitch.
The "cleanest" and probably most useful multiphonics result from the two pitches being (untempered) 3rds, 4ths , 5ths or 6ths apart - the "summation tone" (ie: a new third pitch, the frequency of which is the sum of the two original frequencies) sounds quite strongly; the "difference tone" is often not as strong.
Works best on trombones and french horns (cf Weber Concertino (?)) - fairly OK on tubas - not much chop on trumpets.
Of course, your "classic" woodwind multiphonics are a whole different story...]

I'm not an expert, but, on my bass clarinet, I can finger, for example, a middle-of-the-staff D and then gradually loosen my embouchure. At some point, the below-the-staff G starts sounding simultaneously. It takes control to maintain the balance where you have both notes. No special fingerings required to get several tone combinations separated by a twelfth.

Guy Danguin(a French clarinetist) wrote a clarinet book a part of which elaborates multiphonics and 1/4 tones. I do not know this is avalable in U.S.

Hi, Mark -
You wrote that New Directions for Clarinet by Rehfeldt has a list...
What is New Directions, a book, pamphlet - where can I get a copy? I mean, I didn't see it last time I visited our local library 
It would be very interesting if only for reference when someone brings up the subject again.
Thanks,
ron b

A book, about 200 pages:
<b>New Directions for Clarinet</B>, revised edition, by Phillip Rehfeldt. University of Claifornia Press, ISBN 0-520-03379-5
I found my copy while browsing at Borders, so it's got to be relatively popular.
