RE: Sore upper lip

Brent, Ken and John, many thanks for your comments. I realised that double lip would take more effort; I started using it as a corrective aid for my tendency to clamp down on the reed, having come across it in both K.Stein's and T.Ridenour's books. Many thanks for the more technical advice , John. I live in a town of 20 000, 430 Kms from a larger centre. There are 2 klarinet teachers in town, mine can play double lip less well than myself but knows the technique because his conservatory teacher made him use it as an aid. I have been trying to use it as exclusively as I can manage, but those open notes have been a penance. Thanks for the encouragement, I will persevere.
