Re: Buffet Prestige Middle Tenon Woes...

Well the area where the cork goes sometimes the cork is too narrow so I will put the joint on a lathe and take off some wood on the actual clarinet joint and this will allow for a wider cork placement, thus getting rid of the wobble. Total time to do all of this work is about 30 minutes, includes the replacement of the wider cork. Some of the very old clarinets have cork throughout the whole joint which actually works very well.

Needless to say this bugs me a lot. If it didn't bother me I wouldn't take the time to do the modification, but I strongly feel it is a must. I also feel this way with a lot of mouthpieces being made and they too wobble. It's simply wrong.

Hope this helps and take your horn to a good repairman to have it done correctly.
