Do you think that playing another wind instrument can adversely affect your embouchure?
I have just got back from Church where I play clarinet in the worship group and I think that if anything it strengthens my embouchure and is certainly so different from bass that it doesn't do any harm
My conductor who teaches me EEb bass is against me playing any other instrument, he knows about me playing clarinet but I usually keep quiet about guesting for other bands on BBb bass as I also get into trouble for that.
I know that music students often play several different instrument to a high standard so it obviously isn't thought to do them any damage.
What is your experience?
