Re: Tonal comparison

I've only switched to cork once--on an R13 I played in the '90s. When I did, the difference wasn't so much in terms of timbre, but in the clarity of sound. In my case, at least, the sound became "harder" edged, more clear. I dig that, so it was a good move. I've never done it to my Wurlitzers or Selmers though. I wouldn't do it to the Wurlitzers (though I've played a set that had been given the Moennig cork treatment, and they played very well), but might do it one day for one of my old Selmers.
