I have read that you are supposed set the rings higher for people with smaller hands, so that it is easier for them to push the rings down with their fingers.
Is this true? I was playing on a horn with higher rings than I was used to and it was a pain. It was hard to seal the holes, and I had to flatten my fingers way out. It might be easier for a very small hand, and I'm sure a student could get used to it, but I don't think that straight fingers are the best way to play. I have never heard of anyone covering the open holes easily, but not pressing the rings down enough. However, I don't teach...
Is it possible that the idea about raising the rings came about because the associated pads leaked - and they needed to mash them down hard to get them to seal?
Thanks.
