No, there's nothing wrong with it. Maurice André played with a dry lip. I saw it for myself. Better yet, I heard it. After concerts he'd apply a liberal application of unsalted butter to his chops.

Manny, are you joking here? That seems pretty bizarre!
I have heard stories of some trumpeters bathing their lips in vinegar and water to keep them dry and tough. I also have some friends who will slather Carmex or similar salves all over their chops just befroe they play! They play with chops so wet they are glistening.
IMHO, do what works for you! Everyone is different!
Manny, did Andre really do that? ewwwww!
