Also for a rubber band (size/thickness)to hold the diaphragm on the tube call, what would you recommend ?

I use latex dental dams, no experience with the bands although many do use them. Consider o-rings. The inner diameter will depend on the size of the call. I like them about 1/8" thick. Too thin or not tight enough and the latex will slip. If you get the o-rings too thick they have a tendency to grab on stuff and pull off.

Thera band will work. I have used the yellow or tan in the past. Today I would probably go with the tan.

How well did the thera band work?
Is it better than dental dam?
Thanks again for all the input

Just saw the post. Theraband works well. Has some elasticity to it. I like it better than the dental dam, but some people sound really great with the dental dam. Tal is one of those people. I have used both in the past and both work. Get some of both and experiment. I currently use .003 &.004 latex used in making mouthcalls. Tal is correct. Too thick an O-ring makes it easy for it to catch and pull off. Too tight and you will have a hard time adjusting the latex.
