Re: Double lip

I suppose just like all the equipment discussions, it may be about what is right for you. There are things about double that are somewhat different and need to be approached as such. Often I find discussions about double lip that are filled with myths and various word of mouth information.

I learned and played single for many years. A number of years ago I switched to double for a variety of reasons. For me, I found it to be a positive change.

While double lip may have contributed to certain aspects of Wright's playing, I would find it hard to determine the proportion that contributed to his unique approach vs his incredible musicianship. I doubt that his approach was dictated by how he played or what equipment he played, a sort of chicken or the egg argument.

FWIW- after I changed to double I don't think there was any change in my power or projection as I continued to play in various settings. I don't believe my colleagues detected any change as well.
