Re: Reed socket diameter too large?

I learned as a freshman high school student in the 1940s that cork plumps-up when heated. Just hold the cork part of the reed over a candle flame and you can make it fit perfectly in the oboe reed well. This works with other cork parts on other instruments as well. The cork will burn too much if you are not careful.
