Re: Lower Lip Problems

Believe it or not everyone does not have the same thickness or shape of their lips. As you experiment with more or less lip settle on the way that gives you the best overall result and then build up your resistance. No two people are alike. The thinnest part of one's lip is the spot where the pink and flesh color meet, that's how I play. I know many players disagree with that saying you should take in "less" lip. I get the result I want by playing that way. The only downside to that is my lip tends to get "cut" more inside so I always use a teeth guard, in my case I use floral tape, others use different types of material. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
