 Re: Synthetic vs. real cork on tenon joints?

Real cork over synthetic 'cork' any day for tenon corks. Real cork is easier to work with, sands well and if well maintained and high quality cork grease is used regularly (not the typical cheapo lipstick-style crap), they will last for years if not decades.

I've no idea how tenon corks can have any effect on the sound (provided they seal well and the tenons are a good fit in their sockets), but from what I've seen, most synthetic cork substitutes that have been used tend to either end up becoming sticky, compress and don't recover well or don't adhere well to the adhesive.
