Re: Converting to double lip embouchure

A "cupped" embouchure as Robert Marcellus used will open the oral cavity up and usually place the tongue in a position for better voicing, IMHO, very similar to double lip torture. The story goes that Mr. Marcellus discovered the value of this when he tried to stabilize the movement of his new upper dentures.

The upper lip should apply significant pressure to the MP beak, sharing the work with the upper teeth.

The old Band Directors were always telling the clarinet section to "flatten the chin" ... but with no idea how or why ... it was just something they heard during their semester in college when they were forced to play the clarinet. The "flattening of the chin" occurs naturally when this upper lip is properly configured. It's an external sign of an (open to discussion) good embouchure.

I'd try this before going to the pain of a double lip embouchure.
