How To Replace a Clarinet Tenon Cork

[@SolsGarage]

Was charged $50 at a local shop to get these replaced--I watched your video and have been replacing my clarinet and oboe tenon corks for the past 2 years! It's surprisingly simple and I honestly prefer my own work haha

[@alannesbitt9216]

Coating with paraffin wax was a great tip! Thank you!

[@xyzlmnop5206]

Another one of your great videos!!😊😊😊

[@scottkennedy7609]

Thanks, this was so clear and easy to follow that I managed to replace a cork on my daughter's clarinet. Thanks!

[@MarilynnOfficial]

Love the details on this video. Thank you 🙏🏼 I planning on getting a vintage clarinet tomorrow, and it requires a lot of maintenance. Can’t wait to change the corks myself versus taking it to the shop and spend more $. This will definitely help my pocket. 😇🙏🏼

[@randyking9489]

You are really thorough. I would send my instrument there in a heartbeat. Thanks for posting and your time

[@Bruno-oj8se]

Wooden flute kept together with PTFE tape on the tenons for years. Time for new cork. Thanks - good job! 👍

I'm doing at the moment an upper tenon B&H to fit a longer barrel I bought for my 45' Boosey & Hawkes 8-10. I rebuilt that one and a Conn Director 56' (I got as a ten yr. old) with all of the cork,springs, pads (both standard and cork) buying any needed parts for the B&H from Dawkes. Built my own hold fixture out of parts used for other purposes. I've been watching vids for any tips and secrets and your vid really has a lot of them I didn't see in other vids (that were also very informative) You mentioned clever ways to receive the most use from cork sheets and that bit on the, 'don't sweat the glue on the tenon (I actually taped a mouthpiece with electrical tape to protect from sanding the tenon itself) I did cork two clarinets but your tips were a fine addition to my skills so Thanks for the time you took to help us impoverished wood bee musicians that might not be as old as I am ...cough P.S. I'm doing much better with cork, next, I need spring lessons : )

Absolutely amazing. A work of "Art"😁

Great video! Detailed, great coverage with thorough explanations for all that is needed. Many Thanks! First Place!!

[@sewind6613]

Perfect video. Very useful. Thank you.

[@chrissereque8716]

Thanks so much for a thorough tutorial! A friend gave a good tip for a clarinet mouthpiece mandrel-just use a broken snare drum stick-it will fit perfectly. I then place the drumstick into my vise.

[@ismarrussano1457]

[@plavongeaveur]

Master class sir👍

[@dvorpo]

I am thrilled with this guys talent. Everything he does and says is so clear, the camera is great too He is not into metric measurement so 7.5 mm is really 75mm, and so on. Thank you

[@juanxi_99]

I'm studying this video frame by frame to do this with my old bassoon hahaha

[@emjay2045]

Excellent!!! 👏👏👏

[@Joshadowolf]

Thank you! You are a great lifesaver, sir.

[@tuttilynn3791]

What THICKNESS of sheet cork does he use for the tenon? Anyone? I have 1/64” 1/32” and 3/64”

[@sighteternal497]

Great video, thank you, I will be trying this on my own clarinet. any videos about replacing flute pads? :)

[@andyisacsson7503]

Excellent, thank you

[@petedyro6783]

So helpful! Thank you.

[@burakgurkan982]

You are the master

[@davebuchanan9761]

great video!! what grit sand paper did you use? thanks

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I used 600 grit but you can use any fine grit sandpaper.

[@aygen-ew5kg]

Thank you

[@40daffgroup84]

Thank you master .please tell me wich cork we need? 1 mm or 2 mm

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Different clarinets use different thickness. 1.5 mm works on most. If you have thicker cork, you can always sand it down.

[@antoniocruz1163]

great video

[@dashemesh]

What kind of glue do you use?

[@jimmy5658]

What the glue one using was?

[@openwaterswimpro]

Accidentally sanded the plastic part. Any issues with that?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

You should try to avoid the plastic, but it really does not matter other than the the way it looks.

[@DailyOpinionsUSA]

What is cork cement and where to buy. If we don't need that much what is an alternative

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I use contact cement from Ferree's Tools ( ferreestoolsinc.com ). Judging by your picture, you may be in Australia and it will be very expensive to get it sent to you. You may be able to get some at your local hardware store. You can also use the stuff that you use to glue counter tops.

[@weezy2318]

What do I do if I do it wrong? Can I scratch it out to try again even it is a new one?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Yes, you can just start over by removing the cork and doing it again.

[@Samarag31]

How much money is it to get it professionally replaced?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

At most stores it will be approximately $12 to $20.

[@chrissereque8716]

Is it possible to buy plastic pliers? This might be safer for novices.

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I don't know. If you are careful not to squeeze too hard, you should be fine. If you are not comfortable trying it, you can just use a screwdriver or something to scrape it off.

[@SleekMouse]

7:40 great info, thank you. I'm curious why you don't just use a finer grit of sandpaper?

[@professorrafaelsoares5616]

which glue is the most suitable?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Use contact cement or cork cement. You can get some at a hardware store or from Ferree's Tools.

[@lleeg277]

Could wood glue be used or is contact/cork cement the better choice? Thank you.@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop

Your metric sizes are WAAAAYYY off. 3 inches is 70 mm not 7mm. 7 mm is just over 1/4 of an inch.
