 Re: substitutes for cork on tenons
Author: Max S-D

I think I'd rather see tenons cut to fit o-rings in place of cork, like on Behn mouthpieces. It will never be the deciding factor for me, but after using a mouthpiece with o-rings, I do not want to go back to cork if I can help it. The low force required and positive tactile feedback provided in assembly combined with what feels like a very positive seal and dead easy serviceability (carry an extra o-ring in the case and swap it in if you need it) make me wonder why we even use cork at all anymore.

I've seen thread suggested and handled period instruments (recreations) on a couple of occasions and in those instances haven't had any objection to thread, but would thread require more frequent replacement than cork?
