I'm recorking my MKVII neck and I discovered it has a sort of reinforcing ring at the receiving end. Should I cover it entirely or cut the cork to leave it visible?
Visible.Should I cover it entirely or cut the cork to leave it visible?
Thanks griff.the O.E.D's definition of ferrule is:
noun
*
a ring or cap , typically a metal one , which strengthens the end of a handle, stick , or tube and prevents it from splitting or wearing.
*
a metal band strengthening or forming a joint.

Actually that would be good to know, (irrelevant to this topic) whether the manufacturers actually fitted the ring as a reinforcement or simply as a decoration,I figure- and I could well be figuring wrong- that the ring on the end of the necks is placed there by the manufacturers for reinforcement-
