Tuning Rings

Author: WhitePlainsDave

Other than to help hold a particular distance between the barrel and upper joint, I've heard that tuning rings aid in, addition to intonation, sound production.

Do others agree and if so, why might this be the case? What principles might be at play in filling in the gap on the outside of the sound chamber? Do the rings aid in "keeping the sound in?"

And if useful, do materials matter, as I've seen them sold in metal, plastic and rubber? In fact does something stop me from using similar rings from the Plumbing Aisle of a Big Box store?
