Chris Leuba, when he was principal with the CSO told me he used to get cold sores from his mouthpiece so he replaced his rim with one of plastic of some sort--perhaps it was Teflon, but I think it was pre-teflon--perhaps it was nylon--which was modeled after his metal rim. He said he was satisfied with it, and no longer had trouble with cold sores.

My moose has exchangeable rims. I played around at first, but found a set up that suits my horn and playing. That is always a possibility. True you cant play with cup size, but it does open up the possibilities to play with the rim.
