Thin sideof average

Recommended ID: 16 - 16.5mm

Thin sideof fleshy - even though the bottom lip is full, the top is very thin...adn short!

Recommended ID: 16.25 mm

These are fairly average lips, in general the bottom lip is fuller than the top... this is standard

Recommended ID: 16.25 - 16.5

These lips are fairly unusual in that they have barley any inner red showing, but they are very fleshy front to back

Recommended ID: 16.5mm This is an interesting case. As a very successful commercial artist, this player does play on the ID listed above. However, if he had been a classical player, he almost certainly would have played on something between 17 - 17.5mm.

Fleshy side of average. Note the "V" shape of the top lip. This lip can be compressed easily.

Recommended ID: 17.25

Fleshy side of average, not a lot of inner red showing. Again the shape of the top lip allows it to be compressed quite a bit.

Recommended ID: 17.25 - 17.5mm

Even though these lips can appear to be faily average, the amount of fleshiness present front to back bumps them into the a larger ID size.

Recommended ID: 17mm to 17.5mm. These lips need to be free to vibrate!

Decideedly fleshy lips. A good deal of inner red showing and lots of fleshiness.

Recommended ID: 17.5 - 18mm

Ultra fleshy - These lips belong to a very successful player who has the ability to compress them down to nothing! Well, almost...

Note the formation of the top lip! Even though these lips are fleshy they are efficiently drawn in.
