 Re: single vs double lip beyond the U.S.

I am in Canada. My original teachers, all Italian, played DL. So do I -- to this day. I recall that the way embouchure was talked about in the old days (the late 1950's and '60's) was quite different than now in that the two embouchures were seen as equally valid. It was simply a preference based on which approach felt more comfortable (and yielded better results) given the player's unique physical characteristics. For some, with shorter upper lips, DL is a non starter.

Side note: For a time when I was quite young, I thought only saxophone players played SL. In my limited understanding, I believed that classical/orchestra clarinets all played DL. Yes, I was naive.
