Put some rings on that thing and go for it! The page you came up with looks very nice!
I found myself just never using the rings on my previous horn. I changed my oral cavity to make the small adjustments in pitch to be on center with this horn.

Of course, these are custom horns so any rings can be attached wherever the customer wants them - nothing is set in stone, its just a prototype that worked well for me.

Thanks,
