If it's more comfortable to hold the cor to the right while playing and the reed isn't at the correct angle, then you can have the crook bent so the reed is at a better angle. The crook needs to be filled with low melting point alloy (ie. Cerrobend) and then bent to the new shape. The alloy inside will provide support to the tube while it's being bent so it doesn't collapse in on itself, then the alloy is removed again by immersing in boiling water.
