Silly Tuning Ring Idea

Author: SecondTry  Date:   2021-04-20 05:34 Attachment:  Silicone-Rubber-Sponge.jpg (14k) Take a look at this attached picture's sponge material. On the sides their appears to be a smooth surface...almost like a wrap for the sponge. The air bubble material within that can be seen by looking at the sponge from a cross sectional view. I wonder if that stuff could be made into a tuning ring size...compressed into the barrel that is not pulled out from the upper joint. Add space between the barrel and upper join and the ring expands. The air column "sees" the smoother surface on the outside of the sponge, not the air bubbles within. Just saying....could be a one size fits all tuning ring...much as I can't speak to whatever negative tonal changes it might cause. Have at it with criticism
