Arban book say that the "traditional" way is 2/3 on bottom lips and 1/3 on top lips, this is the way I play. But actually, in the book, there is also footnote of claude gordon saying that this way is good but that nowaday, many pro player use 1/3 on bottom and 2/3 on top and that doesn,t makes any different... It really depends wich lips you are using the most to buzz... for some it is the top, for other it is the bottom one...

For low notes I use 2/3 top. My top lip is my buzzer.
