Re: Double Lip Embouchure Pain

When I switched to double lip for several years, here's what I did:

1. Play with short breaks.
2. Buy a box of Ezo and cut them into pieces that fit over my top two teeth.
3. Bite less.
4. Go down in reed size because I'm biting less.
5. Hit the sweet spot where I no longer bite, have developed a good callus, and don't play on size 4.5 reeds anymore.

I've since switched back to single-lip, but I do my best to keep the same embouchure and make sure not to bite. It's done wonders for my sound.
