For me it's the top lip but curious if this is universal. _________________ Getzen Eterna Severinsen

well. it's a percentage type of thing with a greater bias on the top lip. that said if you can't get the lower involved enough you won't be comfortable and will have playing issues.
could be different for different types of faces under bites and such. |

For me while the bottom lip is certainly part of it, the top lip is where I have the feeling of a definite notch where the mp gets seated - the bottom is a more general feeling. When I set up I make sure I can feel the lower rim of the mp shove the lower lip over the bottom teeth a trap a piece of it but when I actually play the pressure comes off the bottom lip quite a bit from the initial setup sensation. _________________ Getzen Eterna Severinsen
