Re: Tenon corks separation on E13

Buffet's material use has definitely been slipping in the last 5 years. They're even putting that synthetic cork on their top shelf clarinets now too. That 'cork' gets played out and rips so quickly. They're using a similar material for the tenons on the Divine and listing it as a feature. Natural cork is the way to go for tenon joints. Tech cork with a thin layer of Teflon for the thumb ring to f# and f/c lever to f/c key. I've seen both Buffet and Selmer go to using natural cork in those places too. It'd be gone in a month of regular playing like that!
