Re: Switching quickly between instruments

More than embouchure changes, I find physically switching instruments to be a challenge. The show I played last month, in which I switched regularly between tenor and clarinet, I ended up for much of the show playing the clarinet while holding the tenor on my lap because there wasn't enough time where the changes had to be made, sometimes involving a page turn. It was less risky just to leave the tenor in place resting on my lap while I played the clarinet parts with my arms awkwardly held to avoid interference from the sax.

It is fun to play pit work, but not always comfortable.
