I also love the fact that it doesn't smell like menthol. From hot to freezing cold to dry environments, ChopSaver keeps my lips feeling healthy so I can perform consistently. Congratulations on a great product!”

It's the best stuff on the market for horn players! Thanks for such a great product!" www.kikucollins.com

Emily Gibbons – Trumpet, Moravian College, PA
“I first tried ChopSaver about a week before State Jazz Prelims, which is one of our most important performances of the year. I had started using it and REALLY liked the results. It felt really nice, and it worked better than any drug store brand I had ever used. Then, on the night of Prelims, about an hour before stage time, I got hit in the mouth by a saxophone case. My teeth went right through my lip, and there was blood everywhere! I promptly applied ChopSaver and continued to apply it over and over again during our warm up. By stage time, I was able to play with minimal consequences. I could still feel the cut, but it was almost as if the cut was days old. not merely an hour! Thanks Dan!”
Ingrid Moriarty – a non-musician in Indianapolis, IN
“For 2 weeks I had really bad chapped lips. Not just your usual chapped lips. My lips were peeling and swollen and hurt. I tried all the usual over the counter brands. Nothing was helping and, in fact, some of them made my lips hurt more! I was ready to go to a dermatologist when my mother-in-law gave me her ChopSaver. I didn't even care that she had used it. I wiped it off and put it on and kept repeating it as the night went on. With one last swipe before I went to bed, I wondered if my lips would be dry and hard or "crusty" in the morning. Well, they weren't!!! They were soft and felt soooo much better even after using ChopSaver less than 24 hours!! WOW! Thank you! This stuff is amazing! Thank you so much! I'm going to get more and I have been telling all my friends. Thank you for making me feel so much better!”
Dan Case – Little Rock, AR
“My wife isn't even a brass player and she LOVES ChopSaver! She has several medical conditions, including Sjogren's Syndrome, which causes chronic dryness of the mouth and lips. She also has some serious allergies that make some of today's "science project" products unusable for her, but she's found that ChopSaver's all-natural formula is both safe and effective. I may have to start buying in bulk!”

Mark Curry – Trumpet, Reno, NV
“Here in Reno we deal with high altitudes and a very dry climate. Frequently we have to play rehearsals and the gig on the same day, making for a very abrasive day on the chops! I have been used to my chops chapping over the day AFTER one of these playing marathons- NOT ANYMORE! ChopSaver substantially reduces the wear and tear on my lips and makes the day after almost pleasant. I can play with almost no discomfort! Not to mention, it tastes and smells good, and has a seductive feel on the lips. Bravo!”
Richard H. Cox, MD, PhD - Author: "Managing Your Head and Body So You Can Become a Good Musician"
"There are few products that I endorse without reservation- but Chopsaver is definitely one of them! This product is compounded with healthful ingredients for lips that are used and abused in the service of music. I have proven the therapeutic value of Chopsaver with students, professional musicians, and on myself now for many months and have found no one disappointed with the results. Keeping healthy lips is much better than attempting to repair neglected ones. Chopsaver belongs in the repertoire of every lip-using musician right along side their music and instrument!"
Dan Case – Cornet, Natural State Brass Band, Arkansas
“Thank you, Dan, for this incredible product! ChopSaver's healing properties are a wonderful thing for players at any level of skill and experience. No brass player should be without it!”

Tim Dawson – Freelance Trombone, Indianapolis, IN

"I have played clarinet for 7 years. After a long day of "band camp" or just practicing at home, it feels great to put on ChopSaver. Musicians all over the world should enjoy ChopSaver!"
