Re: "Deep" Embouchure on bass clarinet

I never liked methods that put a target line on the reed. What do you then do with it? Your bottom lip goes on it? Past it? Bottom teeth on it?

I do like taking more mouthpiece in until things (pitch, tone, articulation) get wild and then backing off until you can control it. If you have been using hard reeds and biting the tip closed some you should experiment with going down in reed strength as you take more mouthpiece in.

The main thing I listen for is making the bass clarinet clarion range to sound more like the chalumeau of the soprano clarinet.
