Re: Tip tip

I basically use patches to cut down on the wear to the top of the mouthpiece. It can help keep the mouthpiece locked in place a bit because teeth-on-beak can slide a bit.

But when applying a patch I do ensure it is at least 2mm from the tip. To me, it seems there is a bit of "interference" set up with the air flow if the leading edge of the patch is right over the tip rail.

And for any old folks from Chicago: Who can forget the ballroom at the top floor of the Allerton Hotel - "The Tip Top Tap."
