 Re: string for cork tenons

About 36 hours ago I bought an excellent Yamaha YCL 24 clarinet.One of the first things I noticed about it was that the tenon corks were perfectly flat.All of my other clarinets came with rounded tenon corks so when I corked tenons I duplicated the rounded finish. When assembled the Yamaha holds together firmly with almost no wobble. It separates easily without force. I thought the flat corks would make separation harder. The opposite seems true. With rounded corks holding force would be greatest at the peak and tenons could wobble more easily than if properly squared.I am wondering if rounded corks are the cause of so many clarinets being hard to separate. In future I plan to sand with sandpaper glued to a wood bar in hopes of duplicating the Yamaha experience.
