OK, how about a discussion of teeth and mouth configuration as a deterrent
to succesful horn playing, e.g. overbite, underbite, crooked teeth, etc.

All & Dave. For those that want to continue the nonsense about lip size,
first listen to recordings by Julius Watkins. Then look up an ID type photo
of him. Unless one is really dense, this will permanently get rid of this
myth. However, keep in mind that those with large lips may need to work

You know, you ask a very intriguing question, especially to a person with
rather thick (actually, very thick) lips.

Exactly, exactly, that´s what I tried to express in my previous letter.
A responsible teacher does not stick on a great number of students, but
sticks with the (even fewer) students to guide them in a very
responsible way, so they might really enjoy playing a certain instrument
