 In reading this line of Blogs, My thoughts go to Allan Vogel's;
 
 "FRENCH, GERMAN and AMERICAN OBOE PLAYING - Some reflection on having studied with Fernand Gillet, Lothar Koch and Robert Bloom"
 
 http://idrs.colorado.edu/Publications/Journal/JNL6/vogel.html#ref2
 
 ( Which I know has been mentioned a few times on this BBoard)
 
 He describes his experiences and talks about the amount of reed being taken in when playing on traditional French, German and American scrape reeds.
 
 I think this is something to take into consideration with the idea of "Lower and upper lip" and reed position.
 
 Personally, as I have lips like Mick Jagger and play on a cross French/German styled reed, I have not ever focused on the Upper or Lower lip concept, rather just the round shape of the embrouchure and sides.
 
 Though Chris P your comments on diminuendo and the upper lip pressure sound interesting, i will give it a go...
 
 Mosh.
