| Okay, so, you didn't get my drift.
A scar will bother some people and others won't be the least bit bothered by it. A little cracked lip will send some folks into fits of hysteria and others will barely notice it.
Anything on your lip that is disruptive to sound product via effective vibration of the lips will cause a determined player to shift the mouthpiece over and play in a different place. Many players have done this. I do it as a sound/ear exercise for my own amusement. Herseth used to also.
Someone else want to try to explain?
