Re: cork replacment

Awhile back, I overhauled a Buffet for a friend. She had used it until the cork came off one of the joints, stuck it back on with chewing gum, and continued to use it. It was a major pain to get the wood clean to accept the new cork. She was proud that she had gone 26 years without having her instrument worked on. Chewing gum and bailing wire are NOT recommended repair supplies for clarinets. She only agreed to let me work on it when I offered one of my instruments to take its place while I had it. She was amazed how much easier it was to play when she got it back. I agree with the above posts on when tenon corks should be replaced.
