Re: High flow/Low flow

Thanks for bringing this up. I have been around the block and have NEVER heard this two camp idea. I guess it would have prevented some dust-ups on this board when some of us in one camp get into it with the other. I guess it is referring to those who 'PUSH' against the reed, 'PUSH' against the sound; vs those who are in the lighter reed, easier set-up configuration. [and that's a guess folks]

I have been for my career a "PUSHER," only reverting to the other camp as I have been just recently introduced to the proper method to approach German playing on German mouthpieces. Of course this can be done on any style of mouthpiece but it took a big shift to get me to "wake up" to a totally different approach.

Again it's a guess. This is not common terminology amongst the professors I have had the privilege to hear in person: Marcellus, Combs, Brody, Leister, Russianoff, Longmire, Mitchell.

And here again, is said video (of a clarinetist with unquestionably high skill level and accomplishment)
