Re: Synthetic tenon corks

Author: Gordon (NZ)

There are many grades of agglomerated cork.
So without seeing it, further comment is hardly warranted.

However, as I indicated, the GOOD stuff does not fulfil the requirements for tenons particularly well.

It needs too much force to compress it. It cannot compress far, so is not good at accommodating discrepancies in fit. If you always use the same mouthpiece, and the fit of the cork is really good, then these two don't matter.

However that leaves the high surface friction. This really is rather a nuisance. More force is needed to assemble/disassemble, and more cork grease is needed, more often.
