I tried these at ICA this year. They don't seem to be marketing them (at least not in person when I was there) as a professional setup. They are effective tuning devices for students, and did significantly improve the sound and blowing resistance of the B12 which they had available to play on. My regular mouthpiece setup and that barrel on a student instrument made it sound rather convincingly like a more expensive setup. You won't be fooling anyone with it, but it's a cheap way to seriously help out a kid who can't afford an expensive instrument.

Construction wise: it is a 3D printed item (felt like ABS, but I could be wrong on that), and comes with physical stops to keep it from rotating completely apart (more kid proof, I suppose). For the price point, it certainly has its uses and I would definitely drop the money on one or two if I had the students who needed it.
