Staple options

Author: WoodwindOz  Date:   2012-01-23 03:04 I buy my staples from K.Ge as I have used their reeds since I started playing, so continued to use the staples from the old reeds, as well as refresh with new ones. I buy their GE-2 model, which they describe as a standard diameter chimney and the staple they use on their pro reeds. They also sell a small-diameter chimney. Aside from leaks being less likely, what would the impact, good, bad or otherwise, be from choosing a smaller diameter chimney on a staple? Also, I have heard of a trick to increase the size of the cork if it is loose fitting, something to do with a naked flame . I am improvising with plumbers tape and plastic food wrap, but as most of us like to reuse the staples, what it the trick (or if there are others) and how do I do it? Thankyou! Rachel
