Subj: [kl] neck cork
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 03:01:58 -0500

My bass clarinet is fairly new, and i am having trouble with the cork on the
neck. I cannot seem to compress it down enough. I cannot push my neck all
the way in. And when i push it in as far as i can, i have to spend about 10
minutes struggling to get it back out! In fact, i have about a 1/4" of cork
showing. Any suggestions on what i can do to "wear it down."

(oh, and yes, i have tried using plenty of cork grease.)
