Re: Converting to double lip embouchure

I'm definitely not in a position to suggest what you should be aiming for! I'm a rather poor clarinetist.

All I can say is that a couple of days of more solid practice have made quite a difference to my clarinet playing and I'm working on being able to swap between clarinet and baritone sax with ease and without any disruption to my Carney-esque sound and embouchure. (I play on a close Woodwind Co vintage mouthpiece and with hard reeds) . Many years ago, when finding the right mouthpiece, I changed my embouchure to have as little lower lip over the teeth as possible and I try to maximise upper lip pressure and minimise tooth pressure. I have fairly full lips which may or may not make a substantial difference to what sort of embouchures are possible. I really don't know.

My clarinet is a Conn 446N and for whatever reason, I appear to be able to make a sound that has that more traditional, woody New Orleans sound rather than a classical tone - and that's a good thing from my point of view. That means I can be both Carney and Procope.
