I think that there is a danger that this gizmo can hurt your lip. Imagine that while you are playing, you lift the horn slightly (swinging, swaying, just breathing...) so that the stick leaves the floor. If you are still playing when it comes down again, the horn will stop suddenly, mashing your lips and teeth. Or at least making your lip slide off the horn. No?
