Bridge key - corking/adjustment question

Author: GBK
Date: 2003-03-20 16:51

Recently, I had a student come in for a lesson with an R-13 which had been recently overhauled/serviced by a well known tech in our area.

The instrument played beautifully , everything was regulated/adjusted perfectly and the pad work was top notch.

One item did catch my attention: on the bridge key connection between the upper and lower joints, the tech put the silencing material (he uses a small square of leather rather than cork) on the lower arm of the bridge key mechanism (lower joint) rather than on the upper arm (upper joint) where I am accustomed to finding it. Thus the bare metal upper arm rests on the leather square of the lower arm. Usually (at least on all my Buffets) it is done the opposite way.

Is this just a preference of the repair tech? I am sure he had a reason for doing it this way. The clarinet, as I previously stated plays just fine, and the 1/1 fingering is perfectly in adjustment.

Do any of our repair techs silence the bridge key mechanism this way? ...GBK
