 Re: Synthetic vs. real cork on tenon joints?

Karl and Philip,

Nice discussion and healthy debate. I suspect that the truth lies somewhere in between what can be measured and what I hear.

I've played my Buffet for 50 years at a reasonably high level, so when I changed to the synthetic cork tenon joints, I noticed an immediate difference. The sound was a little tighter and less open. I'm the first one who has to be happy with what I'm hearing. If it sounds right to me, then there you have it.

But the cork vs. synthetic sound difference I experienced pales in comparison to the differences that can be achieved through a good reed, a ligature or a barrel, to name a few physical tweaks to sound enhancement.

Cheers, all.
