Re: Bridge key - corking/adjustment question

GBK,
I believe it was done this way because of the material he used. Leather is a lot harder to cut than cork. The lower bridge lever is a simple square shape and was easyer to cover when compaired to the upper joint.
I would not have used leather in that spot, I feel cork would more than do here. Generally I use it where there is a rubbing or scraping action in the keywork, the thumb hole below the register key being an example. I use leather from old sax pads for this. (I am a sax player)
