Re: clarinet vs sax embouchure

I'm playing Sax like a clarinet and I'm not having trouble. I've been working on the unified field theory of single reed playing and I will say this. When you interfere with the vibration of the reed with your lips, the sound of a clarinet will suffer, with a saxophone lip interference makes the sound suck faster and worse.

Now I play all Buescher Saxophones with and Buescher or Rascher mouthpieces and I basically use the same embouchure, double lip on soprano, Alto and Bari, single lip on tenor.

Get a horn, listen to some players on it. Get some good middle of the road gear for a mouthpiece. Play it 15 minutes a day and don't ask anybody on the board for any advice. 90% of every thing I read on this board is wrong. It's a Saxophone have fun with it.
