Re: Bridge key - corking/adjustment question

Author: jbutler ★2017

The problem with cork under the on the A key (under the G#) in the upper joint is that cork tends to compress. Thus, as the cork compresses it results in too much "lost motion" before it picks up the G# key. Also, most adjustment screws over time impale themselves through the cork anyway, so there is still metal/metal contact. I think the best solution is to not put anything on top of the A key or use a nylon screw. The action is a little noisier without any silencing material on the G# or A key, but at least it will stay in adjustment. I think that if anything is to be used at all perhaps a cut of teflon sheet or other high density material should be used.
