As Ed says, players comfortable with double lip can use it on all the clarinets and sax. While many double-lip players may tend toward a demure, understated style, it is a myth that that embouchure will not support a large, loud, and aggressive sound if that is desired. Tenor sax great John Coltrane played double lip, and when I met James Carter a few years ago at a masters' session he told me he plays tenor and soprano double lip. Carter has one of the most rambunctious sound sets imaginable on the sax. He can scream, shout, bellow, weep, squeal, rant, testify, lament, wheeze, explode, slap-tongue, excoriate, yakety-sax, and execute multi-phonics at all dynamic levels and in all registers of the instrument, and his double-lip doesn't get in the way.
