Re: Double lip question

Author: Paul Aviles

My feeling is that is should be a practical amount of upper lip that is easy to maintain in place.

That said, the most important component is to have a set up AND an approach that does not build up enough force to cause any sort of significant discomfort. I had used double lip for several years in school but always felt discomfort, particularly in the upper clarion. Now, many many years later I have found a much easier approach and can actually slip in and out of a double lip (with the "double lip" being more of a upper toothless sort of pursing of the lips).

If it causes you pain, I would say don't do it.
