The coating is more like plastic than rubber now. It's much stiffer and harder. It plays fine, it just doesn't hold when you try to remove the mouthpiece.

My old one, going on 30 years old is frayed, but still works. I think the new one does a better job of adjusting the tension over the reed, but it slips when I remover the mouthpiece.

The new one is cut at a diagonal, so that the top is further back on the mouthpiece than the bottom. I can see that making it more confusing for kids as well.

Sanding is worth a try.

I thought of Rico "Harrison", Lyuben, or Bonade as alternatives. (Even if the Bonade isn't adjusted right, it still works well.)
