Re: Bridge key - corking/adjustment question

Under adjustment screws on oboes and clarinets, I have been using sax pad leather because it lasts longer than cork. There is no other instrument use for leather that I can think of except for case covering. It seems to cause more trouble than it is worth and is hard to adjust in thickness.

In addition to being noisy, metal screws to metal key parts seem to require perfect adjustment for oboes while the leather under the screw has a very tiny amount of give which allows for a microscopic amount of misadjustment. With a metal to metal contact, the oboe just doesn't play as good, being usually slightly out of adjustment. Oboes are much more critical than clarinets for adjustments.
