I tried to look in the archives for info about how some kinds of metals can irritate lips. I've been playing on a gold plated mouthpiece, but now that I practice like I should, my lips get irritated. I guess part of it could be the practicing, but where can I look for info about this. I know D. Elliot sells the different rims, maybe he can expound on the subject. Thanks.
