Re: Selmer Prologue Tenons and Sockets...

I'm not a huge fan of how O rings feel during assembly - the joints have to be pushed to fit as opposed to being twisted and pushed together. It did cross my mind about fitting O rings but I decided to stick with tried and tested tenon corks.

I know Yamaha used to use O rings (with a tenon cork in between) on the middle tenon on the older plastic basses, but not sure if they still do on their current ones. The only other clarinets I know of that use O rings as standard were the Lyons C clarinets and the current versions. Maybe that's what made me decide not to go down that route.
