Re: E/B quick fix?

So what do you repair folks think of the Ring Height thing? By this I mean there are younger, smaller students that have "flush" rings and I find myself doing a five second fix rather than installing a thicker top cup pad (on the bottom joint for example).

Also have run into the reverse where a tech with slim fingers puts in a thicker pad and I find myself making the rings more flush for better finger seal.

No shims for this......... I suppose the lengthier repair process is best but I ALWAYS have to make some adjustments of this nature on a new horn for myself (along with spring tensions of course which are almost always too stiff on sliver keys and rings).
