I have heard that the tone holes of the Buffet E11's are made from hard
rubber plugs (or some other non-wood material). Can anyone enlighten me as
to whether this is true or not?

P.S. Some time ago I inquired about the safety of using Crisco or some
other (unflavored) shortening as cork grease. I'm still curious if anyone
knows whether this method would have a negative effect on the quality of
the corks or the wood. Anyone?
