 Re: replacement bumper cork material

I had a similar problem, but the cause was that the arm from the G# on the A# - B trill mechanism had a notch worn in it that held the A key down momentarily.

I also use contact cement. I don't use cork under screws but find self-adhesive thin teflon sheet excellent where there is no sideways component to shift it on the key. I'm going to try the gasket material.

Another nice thing about contact cement is you can paint a thin layer of it onto sheet cork (or sax pad leather), dry it and paint a second coat. After it is dry - for months even - you can stick a piece of it to a key by warming the key and holding it in place for a moment. Then trim the excess from the edges of the key with a razor blade.
