Re: Double Lipping vs Single Lipping Pros & Cons?

BarrelOfMonkeys,

Although I'm not in that group of players who "got PAST THE LEARNING CURVE for double lipping or single lipping", when Hunter_100 made the statement: "One big advantage I see of double lip is you won't drift sharper as you get tired from biting. I find I am always more in tune towards the end of rehearsal than other clarinets", I thought of an experience I had around 35 years ago that might be of interest to you and others.

While practicing at home, I decided to hook up my Korg meter to see how my tuning was. I discovered that I was playing quite flat. For some unknown reason, I decided to try a double lip embouchure just to see what would happen. To my amazement, my fairly extreme flatness was completely gone and I was playing "in tune".

Allow me to put my response under the heading of...

FWIW.
