Some months ago, I put a Reed Wrangler mouthpiece on my pipes to increase the length of time I can play, but I still find I can only go about 20 minutes or so before my lips give out. I was playing in public a couple days ago and just gave out mid-tune, which was a tad embarrassing. My instructor says that about 10% of his students have this problem, and that using the Reed Wrangler for too long probably makes it worse because you’re not exercising the muscles as much. So I’ve taken it off for the purposes of practicing indoors, but can only make it through a couple tunes before I start losing the tight seal.
