Re: double lip embouchure and soft reeds

I have found that most people on clarinet and Saxophone are playing reeds that are too hard and they do things with their embouchure to “make it work”. I play on an “M15” type mouthpiece, close and long, and I use a D’Addario 3 or 3.5 depending on the weather and the type of music I’m playing.

Watch Tom Ridenour’s videos on “learning double lip”. You might jut find that you will like playing a softer reed.
