Now almost everyone (including the companies) use contact glue and the grooves are just not really helping in any way. There are at least a few different types of grooves on Buffet clarinets. The wavy grooves, which are two or three "scoops", the sharper tiny grooves and somewhat thicker grooves. The "waves" are the worst and are best filled and turned to smooth. With the other types, maybe the cork digs enough into them to give more contact area... or not. A rough smooth surface is probably best.
