Re: Bridge key - corking/adjustment question

"Of course leather will tear up, but only if the person installing it has not found a way to install in a manner that does not allow it to!"

The end of a small diameter screw, scraped across onto or across a thin leather membrane, chews it up. The reality is that most players do not close the A/D key and keep the low ring key open in order to avoid this.

Of course the chewing is drastically reduced if the end of the screw has a hemispherical, polished end. I would still never use leather on a bridge key. And the Microfibre is still better IMO in every way.

Perhaps you would care to elaborate, Peter.
