Subj: Wear out corks?
Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 17:01:58 -0400

Am I shortening the life of my tenon corks by keeping my instrument
assembled? For the last six months or so, after playing I've taken
to swabbing, drying the joints, and air-drying the pieces for
something like an hour, then putting the horn back together and
planting it on the K&M stand so it's "ready" the next day. My tenon
corks needed replacing even before I started doing this -- but is
there any reason I shouldn't be?
