 Re: String instead of cork
Author: Gordon (NZ)

As far as I know, the idea of the thread is that the diameter, hence fit, is adjustable by adding or removing, to suit the climate as the player travels the globe. But a lot of resilience, that is the wonderful quality of cork, is sacrificed in taking this option on a soprano clarinet.

For cork to be as resilient (without excessive force during assembly) on a large diameter such as a bassoon bell tenon, or a bass recorder, the tenon groove would need to be deeper in order to allow thicker cork. On a bassoon particularly, this would mean considerably thicker timber, on an instrument which already has a weight problem.

Perhaps this is the reason why the thread option lingers on for bassoons. On some bass recorders the compromise is to use a long tenon (for good alignment) but a very narrow-width cork.
