I read that Gino Cioffi (former principal clarinettist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from the '50s through to the '70s) used to play clarinet with the reed uppermost when he was in Italy and then moved to the US, but couldn't get any work with US orchestras until he relearnt to play with the reed downwards, which he did. Some 18th Century basset horns had oval brass bells so they could be played held between the legs if the player played with the reed on top, or played at the right side (bassoon or sax style) with the reed underneath. And instead of using a sling to free up the right thumb for low Eb to low C, the lower joint could be clipped to a button on the player's jacket, shirt or waistcoat.
@shoko_shoko I mean, less of a hurt, more uncomfortable. Because if you play loud the reed vibrates against your lip a lot and it's like getting slapped with it over and over again really fast, but really softly
It is strange. They teach in university that it was originally played like this, but I've always had my doubts. This is the closest I've come to making it work but I haven't tried practicing it. I was actually really satisfied with the nuances it would give the sound, specifically between the notes, but I think around 30 seconds or so in I sort of lost the embouchure I was doing and couldn't find it.
