Dear Christian,
Great! When you get some time, experiment by putting this dental silicone directly in the key cups. I should think that it would fit so snugly into the cup that you wouldn't have to glue it in at all. The only problem is that it has to be harder than putty, but nevertheless "softish", like leather, bladder or cork, in order to seal well. The good thing about silicone is that the pressure waves bounce off it; it doesn't absorb these waves like leather or cork. Therefore, its acoustic properties are better. I don't specifically what silicone we used. We tried different forms but always ran up against the problem of not getting an imprint and not being able to glue the silicone onto the metal of the cup.
Let me/us know about the results of your experiments. You have my personal e-mail address here. You might be on to something big!
PS: How come your English is so good?!
