Hands

I have read on a website somewhere that Lips was designed to have his hands permaneantly attached to his trumpet. Does anybody know if there is an official source regarding this fact (maybe Of Muppets and Men)? And if this is true, does anybody know if multiple puppets were built or if perhaps Lips had removable arms so he could change outfits (I have seen him wear five different shirts, and I have seen him without his trumpet)? --Minor muppetz 23:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
