      Hey Steve - I've had these for years but they've never bothered me.I don't
have them in the corners of my mouth since I'm not a TBer - I have them toward
the center of my lips where the harp touches while playing with a pucker and lip
block.No soreness just some very small, deep blister-like things.I view them as
"work calluses" and just figured everyone who plays harp has them, although I've
never really talked to other harp players about
it.                                                 Jeff
