Nick,it is all very simple and has nothing to do with the sound,or chaging the vibration and resonance.I personally never thought that FINGER rings have anything to do with sound.:)
Americans have large fingers,therefore the rings are wider and bigger.:)
All jokes aside,3rd slide and a pinkie rings are actually the same size as Yamaha,and first slide ring is bigger because we had few customers with fingers that did not fit.
