Hmmmm....interesting point. I've noticed it can hit the mic awfully
hard, alright. But, I think the advantage is that you have just that
little extra edge of control, like with a diatonic. I rarely ever cup
my 'tonic _absolutely_ air-tight - I just use it for effect.

I have the same problem with the appearance that you did. I wonder: If
a metal cover (nicely chrome plated) was available for your 64, that
worked like a turbo-lid, but didn't change your embouchure, would you
consider investing in one?
Would it be worth $100.00? I'm designing a prototype now, but I may
never get to the "production" phase.
