Hello to all,
At first, thanks for everyone taking time to respond.
Second, as karl tries to say..
I am not switching to DL, I am just starting and starting with DL and yes I have my reasons for this decision, but since this isn't the topic
(and because it is and will probably always be an impossible discussion to end)
I am not going to debate that in this thread.
The thread was meant, as the title says, to get information on how to best protect our lips (lower and upper), whether playing SL or DL, but assuming DL.
Both technique and material wise.
So for now I want to thank Jennifer, Karl, Ed, Micke that has discussed the topic constructively.
@ Micke and Jennifer:
yeah I am reading just now this part in the dissertation, an approach I wasn't familiar with, but seems to be important one and I will definately take that up.
I have ordered a Kooiman Etudes 3 thumbrest to be able to keep the instrument more stable and will soon try to construct a Clarinetie like construction to make sure I can use proper fingering and lip techniques without pressing the instrument up with the thumb.
Tomorrow morning will have my first lesson and I am curious about the first contact.. specifically about the DL part, a bit anqious now really, but that is oke.
Anyway i'd better get the instrument warmed up again this evening.. but it is 22:39 now so maybe I should eat some first, since I just got home from work.
anyway.great evening to you all.
Kind greats
Matthieu.
