Thank you for sharing your warm up approach with us!

Do you do this same warm up with every one of your doubles, every day? Can you tongue as fast on baritone sax as with clarinet?

[@eugenemarquis4855]

I do this warm-up only on Bb clarinet. Since the parameters of a good tone are much narrower on clarinet, by comparison it makes most other horns easier to control. My tongue can move just as fast on larger instruments. It's possible to tongue faster than the instrument can respond. Contrabass clarinet is a real slow-poke.

Can you enlighten me with your mouthpiece, ligature , and clarinet setup please?

[@eugenemarquis4855]

Off the shelf R13 Bb, no additional undercutting. The best one of over 50 new ones that I tried. Clark Fobes barrel. Hite D model mouthpiece, old enough that David and Jean did the facing and finish work. One of a few from the last time I saw him. Bonade inverted nickel-plated ligature. Ligatures can vary a lot in how they play. Try several of the same model, if you can. There can be a big difference from top to bottom. Well worth the time.
