Re: Tenon cork replacement

Leila, how thick does the register key bumper cork need to be? Tenon cork is usually around 1.6-2mm thick which is still too thick for most keys.

I only use 0.4-0.5mm gasket cork on speaker keys as anything thicker will mean a lot of bending of the speaker key to get good venting, and will leave the touchpiece sitting very high in relation to the thumb bush/ring.
