This might sound crazy, but for years my Lorée was playing with reed thread in addition to the tenon cork!
Until it was repaired by David Teitelbaum, replacing the tenon cork on the top joing had always been either too loose or too tight... I thought it was because of the synthetic upper joint. For the past 5 odd years, the cork was much too loose and had begun to crack.
Before that, I would supplement the tightness with cigarette paper, but now it was too much. I tightly and carefully wrapped one or two layers of reed thread which I kept sealed with heaps of cork grease. It really did the job well for years: sealed great because I could staccato the low Bb softly without strife.
