Re: Double Lip Embouchure on Bass

You may have already seen them, but there is a three part video on double lip on youtube by William Ridenour. I've been playing Bass clarinet for about 4 years (three using double lip) It works very well for me, and there are no longer tooth marks on the mouthpiece. One must be careful though, if you get lazy it doesn't work. Be aware however that it requires strength in some muscles in the upper lip that do not come into play with single lip. Don't be surprised if your upper lip tires easily when you start. strengthening will likely take more than two weeks. I'm convinced and will not likely go back. The main benefit I see is that it eliminates the tendency to bite down on the reed.
