I just had a random idea for an Utaguchi cover. Perhaps it's inpractical. Perhaps it's expensive. Perhaps i'm just bored. How about a design like a leather squeeze coin purse? It's rectangular in shape (You could even bevel the roof of the cover to make it more rounded when in place) but when squeezed, will open into an oval or circle, place it over the mouthpiece without even touching the playing edge and it fastens itself when released? I think it's simply two bands of flexible metal underneath leather at the lip of the purse, so they could be measured/cut to fit each different size.
Just my .002 cents.
