Re: Jupiter JCL-731 Questions

The Zheng Hao site seems promising.Are their cork sheets very good ? On Saturday I paid $15.75 for a 2 cm x 10 cm piece of cork sheet for a tenon cork replacement. I like the idea of having a variety of thicknesses available for precise shims . My local supplier has only one thickness available. Locally I pay $2.00 to $3.00 each for no name generic pads that stifle resonance.
Yesterday I lost 3 trill key pad skins while cleaning. One was already torn before. Since I am just cleaning and inspecting the clarinet right now I reinstalled the keys with the now skinless pads.Although there is a minute loss of resonance the clarinet still sounds good.
I already own a large collection of tools ,leathers and natural cork for craftwork . Experimenting with cork and leather pads is therefore virtually free for me. The Jupiter I am working on now is too good to be subjected to multiple key removals for experimentation.This week I hope to pick up a rough Beuscher Aristocrat Clarinet for homemade pad experiments
