I agree! Love the music and so apropos! I made my own fixture to mount the sections using a clarinet wall mount and the one you have chucked. I slotted the wall bracket to slide adjust for both sections and used an angle bracket drilled for that table holder cone with a drill stop ring to hold it in the angle, both mounted on a strip of 3/4 X 3" wood. Crude but effective and used on my desk when doing all of the pad adjustments and needle spring work. I use a soldering iron for the pad leveling etc. etc. Thanks

Thank you ❤❤❤🎉

That's a good thought. I also wondered if it might be to reduce the thickness a bit as I have been recommended to use 1.6mm and that's going to be quite a bit too fat. Hammering it out could may it more dense as well. I'm going to try it.

Thanks! You seemed to be doing the job properly which is more than can be said for other YT videos on the subject. I can see that using the lathe will make a much better job than trying to do without; either way removing the keys that overlap the tenor seems to be essential. Two questions: What cork thickness do you use? Why do you hammer it out? Tony

Whoops, just saw that someone asked literally the exact same questions as me, haha. Sorry and thanks for the great video!

Actually the 1.6mm turned out to be the perfect thickness for my B&H Edgware, the new joints were tight but didn't need any sanding at all.

Hey Eric! Saw your video. Still waiting for the flash drive on the euphoniums. Jim

Nice, clean tenon replacement, backed by some really hot BG quartet playing "Liza". . I'm curious as to why only one end of the cork was skived at maybe forty-five degrees. If the other end had the complimentary skiving, so to make a more even thickness, there may be less sanding to do.

@orcatheforker i think he hammers it out on a lead shot bag just tu make it a little more pliable. it kinda stiff when it is on the sheet and can crack when wrapping it.

wow thx!

You made this look super easy and fast!! Great video! I have some beginner questions, though: why does he hammer the cork? Is it to get it to the right thickness? What IS the right thickness? How do you know/tell for each clarinet, and does it differ by brand? Thank you!!

Would I find the cork in a general crafts store like Joann's?

Its just one of those things...

seems a little exessive to have to buy a lathe & belt sander

Hi Jack! We are a professional repair shop - we don't recommend doing repairs like this on your own. It would be very costly to have all this stuff at home.

HI David, it was a feeble attempt at humour, sorry. I am doing a woodwind repair foundation course next month and have already refurbed two saxes including a C soprano, which i played at a jam session in Glastonbury England last week. so after that i will unleash myself on the unsuspecting public who might need their axes fixed. I also run a small fine art bronze casting foundry, using lost wax/ceramic shell so i might have a go at casting broken/missing parts. Plus i want to do research into annealing brass on vintage instruments so as to try to accuretley determine when & if they will crack or break, cause they may have been bent lots before, as I'm sure you know . thanks for your reply, kind regards Jack

Very cool! Sounds like you might find yourself a niche market if you can cast missing parts on antique horns. Wish you luck.

Very dangerous what you did putting your arm across the belt and your shirt above the chuck. Get out of that habit fast.
