Re: Doubling on Clarinet

Well, you've articulated (heh) why clarinet and flute are different than oboe, but I don't think this necessarily means that the habits from one will carry over into the other to a significant extent. There are multilingual people who have problems with words and grammar from one language spilling over into the other, but there are also many multilingual people who have no problem keeping their languages separate. The human brain is a wonderful organ and can do wonderful things.

I could even imagine the contrast being good. Maybe one gets all one's biting instincts "out" on the clarinet, so that one plays the oboe relieved of any urge to bite. Feel like biting? Go play the clarinet for a while. Come back to the oboe when you've had your biting for the day. Feeling congested? Blow away on the flute, come back to the oboe when you run out of blowing and want to feel the buildup of pressure again.
