Our silver underlip insert headjoints were developed in collaboration with Richard Craig. The initial idea was Richard's, with the aim of providing crisper articulation without losing any of the wood's sound. We expected this particularly to benefit softer woods such as Boxwood and Mopane. The insert would also give a feel of the silver's position under the lip. In fact we found the Grenadilla also moved to a new area of complexity. We therefore sent two prototypes to Richard for his assessment, one in Boxwood, the other in Grenadilla.
