Thanks, hope that works out and gives you a lead on the problem. I considered buying a Runyon at one time, maybe to see it would help withmy endurance, or something. Can't recall. I did see there intent was to provide cold weather comfort from the cold rim. Wish they had those many years ago when I did a lot of marching band stuff, mostly with a VFW Band parades and Alumni Band games which were sometimes in nasty weather. I am curious as to how you compare the"feel" of the Runyon in contrast to the metal and if it affects your playing at all. Please keep us advised on your progress.
