Anyone Play with Piercings??

Author: claribari

I have been wanting to get a triple labret for a long time now, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience playing the clarinet with lip piercings. I don't use correct embochure (yes, I know that's not a good thing) but I am still in the top of clarinet players for Southwest Iowa, and am also in the top of my band. But I checked as best I could (okay I put my finger where the stud would be) and as far as I know the stud would not bother the reed at all. I have a slight gap (barely noticable to others) on the right side of my mouth between the top lip and the bottom lip (I bit my lip as a child) so I know a ring there wouldn't bother my embochure and the left side of my mouth has ( as far as I know) normal "gapage" so I am pretty sure it wouldn't affect my playing much, but wanted to ask if anyone out there has experience with playing the clarinet with a lip piercing.
Thanks for any help, Clarbari
