Philip Caron - Hi! I am about 99.99999 percents sure Bliss double tongues. I've sat next to him when he plays. It he's not he has the fastest tongue in the world. Added, I was able to hear him play the Nielsen Concerto at the 2017 ClarinetFest. It was surely a remarkable concert. A day I will never forget. I would guess he can single tongue at or around 172. This is why I'm saying I think he double tongues. From sitting next to him and also hearing this concert well I could be wrong, but I don't think so...
So you have me curious and I will ask him. I have his email addy. After he studied with Sabine we went on to U. of Indiana, maybe he changed a few things there. He went to U.of Indiana at the age of 14 I think, it way of been 15 or 16. AFTER studying with Sabine. I won't say who he studied with, but his teacher and his students all order reeds from me. I'm trying to keep his private life toned down a shade. I can say he is a wicked jazz player. Sometimes I wonder if he'd rather play jazz more than classical. I can safely say that if you go to a concert he is extremely friendly and very approachable so talk to him. It's worth it. His circular breathing is so natural for him, I don't think he is aware when he does it.
Anyway, the subject of conversation doesn't really matter in this case of double lip playing. But thank you, I WILL ask Julian.
