Steven,

Than you very much for replying to me.

I looked at the JLSmith website and also at Votaw tools -Votaw sell synthetic cork by Valentino.
I was not sure which would be better, but will buy from JL Smith.

Both of my clarinets are stored in a Buffet double case for a few days a week, with bells attached to lower joints.

I am not sure if replacing the lower tenon corks will do much since it will get compressed again. I may try wetting the existing corks and heating it up with a weak flame to expand it. However, I do not think that such a method will produce long-term effect.

thanks again
