I strongly feel you can get bad wobbles between the joints if left assembled all of the time. The cork shrinks up. It's surely not a big deal, but if the joints wobble there is a very high risk of air leaks, the horn won't seal very well. An easy fix. Just replace the cork. Takes about 20 minutes and this is something I feel every player should know how to do.
I think a wobble is just as bad as a leaking pad. The horn just won't perform with a leak. Take good care of your horns. It is amazing how much air can leak from the joints. The mouthpiece and barrel corks can cause the most issues; leaks. A horn should seal for several seconds, maybe 20 to 30 seconds. So you can self check your horn.
Most new Buffet's won't seal more than a 1/2 second if you are lucky. So peaking out a good Buffet is pretty hard to do. Yamaha's seal very well. No adjustments should be needed.
