Re: Double-lip for beginner

Hi Bob. C6 or C7? There doesn't seem to be any need for added pressure from C6 to C7 or even a ways beyond. F7 and higher does seem to involve (for me) some picky changes, and maybe jaw pressure is one; I'm still learning. In ascending, the double-lip technique seems doomed eventually to give way to a version of single lip where the *bottom* lip is withdrawn . :-)

Thanks for the info about tip opening and reed strength. A relatively stiffer reed does indeed seem to help that altississimo range, and so does a reed that's balanced just right.
