You say there will be a gap in the reed well "that will mess up your tuning." But Jaysne said that all of his notes were in tune. Maybe he was unknowingly compensating with his embouchure. But, if he can compensate with his embouchure, there's not a problem. I would be curious to see a well-controlled study proving that the rings help. I'm sure the company that makes them and sells them has submitted such a study to a peer-reviewed acoustics journal. (Sarcasm).
Sorry for seeming caustic, but the older I get, the more fierce an empiricist I am.
