Yes, the thumb ring on my 191 broke off where the threaded shaft attaches to the ring. Fortunately, I was lowering it into its hard case when this happened, so there was no more damage.

BTW, I was not using the ring to support the weight of the tuba, only to balance the tuba.

Chuck, you may not remember, but you offered to sell me the ring you have when this happened. I didn't buy it because I got the dealer to replace it for free.

As far as other thumb rings go, the ones on the big PT tubas are the sturdiest I have seen.
