Forest, True enough, but the fact is that my Buffets didn't sound as good
before the cork pads were installed either, so I guess that's the reference
point that I have from personal experience from which to jump to that
conclusion. So, do the cork pads really make a difference or is there some
other factor? My R-13 had been overhauled several times previous to the
installation of the cork pads, and I know there was definitely an
improvement with the more recent overhaul I had done on it. Christy
