thin / average thickness

Recommended ID: 16 - 16.25mm

average / thin - You can clearly see here how there is significantly less fleshiness to this top lip, even though the bottom is full.

Recommended ID: 16.25 - 16.5 Anything bigger would be pushing it.

average / thin top lip is thin in every way

Recommended ID: 16.25 - 16.5mm

average/ thin top lip shows little inner membrane and has less than average thickness

Recommended ID: 16.25 - 16.5mm

average/ fleshier top lip has medium thickness, full bottom lip

Recommended ID: 16.5 - 17mm

Average - thin top lip

Recommended ID: 16.25 - 16.75mm

thin top / very fleshy bottom - a real study in contrasts! The top lip is very short.

Recommended ID: This is really going to depend on how well the bottom lip is drawn in. If it compresses well, perhaps 16.5mm, if not 17mm, but this embouchure will have to be driven by the flexing of the bottom lip. The top should compress wuite easily and naturally.

average to fleshy - long top lip! medium thickness

Recommended ID: 16.5 - 17mm

Special note* The top lip does not show a lot of inner membrane and might be able to compress easily down to a 16.5mm ID. To go larger might be too much.

average - even with the fleshy bottom lip I would guess that the top lip virtually "disappears" when compressed so...

Recommended ID: I would probably stay around the 16.5 range. This player would have to "show" me something to convince me he could go larger.

fleshy side of average - The top lip has some fleshiness to it.

Recommended ID: 17 - 17.5mm

fleshy side of average; the top lip is just as full as the bottom and fairly fleshy.

Recommended ID: 17 - 17.5mm
