Double lip used to be very popular in Italy. My teacher was Italian (born 1920) and used it, together with his crystal mouthpiece. He also transposed everything onto his full-Boehm Bflat clarinet. But this is really "old school". None of the top Italian players play double lip anymore.

I don't believe that double lip produces a better sound. It may be a good diangostic tool against bad habits, like biting too much etc. But I think the perceived improvement is sound is only evident to the player, who doesn't have the mouthpiece vibrating against his/her teeth, and therefore hears their own sound differently. Just my opinion...

In any case, I can't think of a single clarinet player whose sound I really like who plays double lip.
