Re: Tongue Position

As a starting point, use the sound "Hee" (as in Hee-Haw) ... you can feel the sides of you tongue touching your upper back teeth.

A double embouchure kinda naturally sets the draws and pulls in the facial muscles and puts the tongue in the right spot for some players.

I got used to dropping the tongue on the LH clarion notes and some of the altissimo notes to compensate for sharpness on some instruments ... on the Ridenour clarinets, you can keep the tongue more stable. If you keep the air focus constant on these instruments, they are excellent in tuning.
