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

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. 😇🙏🏼

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

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

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

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 : )

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

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.

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

Thank you for the gift of knowledge.

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

Absolutely amazing. A work of "Art"😁

thanks for this educational video. It helps me a lot

Perfect video. Very useful. Thank you.

Well !!!! Great video and work !!!! thanks

It works for me, thanks a lot!

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

Thank you! You are a great lifesaver, sir.

Master class sir👍

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

Excellent!!! 👏👏👏

So helpful! Thank you.

Excellent, thank you

You are the master

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

great video

Thank you

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

What the glue one using was?

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

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

What kind of glue do you use?

Accidentally sanded the plastic part. Any issues with that?

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

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

How much money is it to get it professionally replaced?

which glue is the most suitable?

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