Price, (even for trades) Brand, Model, and location (for instruments, not accessories) need to be included in the ad, or at least be very clear in link provided. It is acceptable to link to an external ad if you are promoting a sale of your personal equipment. No Ebay Auctions, but Buy it now listings are fine. Photos are HIGHLY suggested as well. If you see an ad that does not meet these criteria, please report it.
I don't have one of those, obviously, but I should take a picture of my tuba with its ring on it and my hand that does even reach the ring, which is why the ring is in the mouthpiece box. You gonna use that thing as a weapon, or what?
I genuinely like it. I generally dislike thumb rings because (from the factory) they generally are in a location that hurts my hand. And they are usually uncomfortable in some way. I like this one so much that I want to install one just like it on my Holton 345.

SOMEBODY SELL ME YOUR UNLOVED
WILLSON OR KURATH THUMB RING!
I remember why I can't make these. To keep the tube round (and not flattened on the inside face of the annulus) I need a special mandrel that I cannot afford to have made for me. Maybe the Harbor Freight tube bender has a half-round mandrel of the correct size? Nah, it is mostly for exhaust systems for cars.

Some may not get this, but sometimes you want what you want. I don’t have one to offer up, but I think they’re the ring to which all are other are compared. Comfortable in every way.
A friend of mine just got a Curry trumpet mouthpiece with a gold rim and The Ring's script hand-engraved around it. Very cool stuff…
