I need a comfortable thumbring on a tuba I'm working on and I discovered a new adjustable Miraphone thumbring assembly in my hellbox. The thing that bothers me about it is the skinny little threaded shaft on the ring itself. A Willson-type "truck hitch" ring it's not.
Has anyone ever had the thumbring snap off of their instrument? Is it a common occurence?
