Subj: Cork Pads on Upper Joint

This message is directed to Steve Prescott and other repair techicians on
the Klarinet Network.

What is the repair techicians view on cork pads on the upper joint of a
clarinet. Do you have a feeling for how many professionals choose them vs
not? Do you feel corks change the way an instrument "speaks"? The
recent discussion on this subject has caused me to ponder the subject as
I am due for a repad job.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
