Re: The clarinet catch can?

I personally think the oring theory is wrong, orings are made out of very soft material, usually nitrile, which dampens vibration more than wood fibers, which are quite stiff. Also, mouthpieces are almost always pushed all the way in to contact the barrel directly, so the vibration does not need to go through the tenon seal alone.

The orings are certainly easier to replace, and an oring tenon is much cheaper to manufacture compared to cork tenons. And they are a easy way for a company to differentiate a product from competition.
