 Re: What is the best way to adjust needle spring tension

Rubco is also called tech cork, Gummi-Kork and Yamaha call it 'Hycotex' - it's essentially gasket cork and very high density compared to other cork composites (the cork equivalent of chipboard like the stuff used for noticeboards and place mats) that Mauriat and other makers use which crumble like anything, therefore having no place on woodwind instruments.

A simple countersink can be made from a piece of mild steel - an old rod screw will do for this. File a 90° taper on one end, then file a flat to half the thickness of the rod, then harden and temper it to form a countersink that can be used for loads of purposes. I mainly use it to mark the centre when drilling the ends of pinned or floating steels on oboes prior to countersinking them to fit them between point screws, but the same countersink can be used to countersink the screw holes before tapping them in pinned key barrels, countersink the holes prior to drilling thumbrest screws and loads of other applications.
