Tim,
You might also consider using a piece of clear vinyl tubing (about a 6 inch length) slipped over the end of your mouthpiece. You can get it at most any hardware store. I have found that a .5 inch inner diameter works well on a "large" shank mouthpiece, but it comes in several i.d. sizes, so measure the o.d. of your shank. And don't push it on too far or it will be difficult to remove. The tubing makes buzzing much easier, and far less tiring. There was a thread on the subject not long ago. Check the archives.
