You may want to try a smaller diameter mouthpiece rim. What mouthpiece do you play on now, and what is it's rim diameter? Doug Elliott may be able to set you up with a better cup and shank than you currently have, with a smaller rim that will not leak. I switched from a 132 rim to a 130, which is a very small change, but helped my leaking problem a lot. I was leaking more when playing in the high range. Do you leak all the time, or only in the high range?
