Can you play the tenor saxophone with angel bites?

It is physically possible to play the tenor saxophone with angel bites, which are piercings on the upper lip. These piercings typically don't interfere with the embouchure, which is the placement of the mouth on the mouthpiece to produce sound. However, if a player wears large pieces of jewelry or experiences swelling with these piercings, it might have minor impact on their overall technique or comfort while playing. Ultimately, individual differences in anatomy and playing skills could influence the exact degree of affect angel bites might have on playing the tenor saxophone or any other instruments that uses a lip embouchure. Consult with your healthcare professional for specific recommendations if considering piercings while playing instruments on wind instruments.
