One video posted on this site re: recorking a neck suggested removing the octave key to avoid damaging it. Thought I might do that, but the simple screw removed in the video doesn’t seem to exist on my yas 23. I’m pretty sure I can recork without removing the octave key, but now I’m curious about how I would go about removing it? Advice much appreciated.
A case can be made for removing the neck octave key to get the ring portion out of the way when using a bench peg to sand the cork. I always remove the key when cleaning up the tenon.
