Great video. A lot of flute instruction generally seems to be written from very thin lipped people without a lot of curvature and after playing for a couple years, it is great to hear something for those with lip shapes more uncommon among flutists.

Absolutely, one can play flute with thicker lips. Hubert Laws, Bobbie Humphrey, James Moody, Eric Dolphy and many other wonderful artists with thicker lips did it beautifully. (The latter 2 doubled with sax and flute).

Great answer part of my top lip was removed due to a facial injury in a car accident but my bottom lip remained intact , but I had to move the flute around to find the sweet spot and to compensate for part of my top lip missing. ( My bottom lip is thick )

Sorry to hear about your accident Curtis! That's awesome you could readjust your embouchure to find what works best for you! 😀

I have a teardrop shaped upper lip and thick lips. This results in a unfortunate embouchure with a large hole, which is terribly not ideal for the flute. I’ve been playing for about 5 years now but my tone is still horrible and I can barely play phrases past 2 bars. I really love the flute but it’s such a struggle with these physical obstacles. Is it possible to work on this? Positioning the flute higher blocks the hole, but positioning it lower also misses the hole.

Hi there! If you haven't checked out my video about playing the flute with a tear drop lip, definitely do so! Here's the link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqx9e62T0MrNmp8.html Try and play your flute with an off-centre embouchure, this will definitely help you achieve that nice tone you're after. It might be tricky at first to get used to this new position but this embouchure may suit your lip shape better. 😀
