The upper joint of my clarinet has cork. A big plus for getting cork is that
it doesn't need to be replaced as much as regular pads.

hi all: my r13 needs new pads. what are the pros/cons of replacing the
upper joint pads with cork? also, do mouthpieces wear out? my b45 is 5
years old and seems as good as ever. finally, i want to try out some thick
blank grand concert reeds. right now i'm using #3 vandoren v-12's -
what's the equivalent strength for the grand concerts? thanks, ben
