Re: An end to a mouthpiece search?

It has more to do with where the embouchure/reed pressure point location is than how much of the lip is "inside" of the mouth.

The key question is whether the pressure point rests more on the flat facing of the lower teeth or more on the cutting edge of the top of the teeth?

The answer to this usually determines whether one plays on the lip or off.

(BTW, off doesn't completely mean off, just more on the front of the lip structure where it is half white, half red rather than where it is predominantly on, or only on the "red" part of the lip.)
