Re: Playing the clarinet with a bad tooth

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your response. I have never used the double lip embouchure...I am definitely not a pro either, now just a handicapped clarinet player. I completely love the clarinet for whatever reason, and I have played it everyday for the past six years up until this surgery and practiced and played til I thought I would drop or did drop. A day without the clarinet is like a day without sunshine. I really am appreciating this board and everyones' responses.

I never realized there was a strap though when I was trying the double embrochure I kept thinking "if only I had a strap instead of my knee", so you made me realize that there was such a thing out there already invented. It would definitely be better than using my knee as an anchor. So I wonder, if that is something I can go purchase at the music store? Do you know? I guess I could google it too.

I know the double embrouchure is controversial, but where there is a will there surely should be a way. Remember the olympics, where the guy ran with the artificial legs? That was awesome. He did as well and better than most the other runners. I think it was just the determination in his heart. From what I am reading, the double embrochure can sound really good if you put the practice into it.

Sincerely
Karen
