Re: String instead of cork

Author: ron b  Date:   2003-06-15 07:38 Nothing wrong with string and it's a natural for even mediocre do-it-yourselfers. I prefer heavy thread though, as did most 'old timers', because you can make finer adjustments as Gordon points out above, and... it's more durable. Since I have the option, however, all my personal horns have corked tenons. One of my metal (backup) horns, a five piece model, has thread tenons for the reason Gordon also states; it has extremely shallow tenon grooves. I believe its tenons were meant to be thread wound since cork would have to be ineffectively paper thin. The thread has lasted nearly three years with no adjustment necessary - I play it at least once a week. - rn b -
