Re: New reed adjustment method

@Karl: As one who decided to grease inside the tenons rather than outside on the corks, I'll share my reasoning (as far as it ever went)...

Once greased, the exposed corks are more likely to (1) stain the lining inside the case or (2) pick up extraneous dirt if they touch anything else besides the inside of its matching tenon.

Also, the bridge mechanism on the upper section extends beyond the edge of the joint, thereby blocking access to a portion of the cork on that joint. And so, greasing the inside of the lower joint tenon instead of the cork on the upper provides a full circle of lube for that upper joint cork to work into.

Orders of minimal difference?

Yeah, probably.

But at least this (minimal) thinking is what prompted me to grease inside the female parts rather than outside on the male parts.

If all goes well, the grease winds up where it's most intended.
