Re: O rings on mouthpieces

I bought a SONO bass mouthpiece from Brad at Clarinetfest 2018 and it has 4 O-rings on the tenon. IMHO this design is far better and more practical than cork in many ways. It fits like a glove on the mouthpiece socket of my Buffet bass without feeling too tight, which is good because if the table of the mouthpiece tilts to one side, I just need to apply a small amount of pressure to base of the mpc and turn it until the table faces down and not at one side.

Mike, I had the same problem(but on the tenon of the lower joint) with my old 221 bass some years ago. But I personally think that it has more to do with its build quality, since I had a number of other issues with the register key and pads on that same horn throughout my 6 years using it.

Donald, I'm sure you'll be very happy with Brad's blanks. The SONO Custom I have is phenomenal, and is the best blank design I've ever played on!!
