Yes, lots. I also find that a very few minutes of practicing bends leads to tender inner lips, especially on the upper lip. That might be the fact that I am 80, or just my physical make-up. When I was a teen I was quite prolific on the Accordion and decided to add the Trumpet to my accomplishments. I played the trumpet for 6 months or so and was never able to find an embouchure that would allow me to practice for much more than half an hour to 1 hour without getting very sore lips. I finally gave it up. The other possibility is that my wife (of 56 years) says I am the best kisser in the world. That probably means my lips are tender and soft (LOL).
