Fix "rolling" lip plate

Post by Concertinaplayer »

Hi

my Piccolo has a lips plate that surrounds the head
I noticed that this plate lost its "grip" and its hole isn't aligned with the hole of the head
I can rotate it for realigne the holes but I'd like to stop the rolling
How can I do?
Thanks in advance for your tips

Melting a little bees wax or thermowax into the outer margin would be a simple, reversable fix.
