[QUOTE="Woodpad, post: 569902, member: 8873"] The main advantage of cork is its can endure more than 50 years (if you don't leave the mouthpiece on). Most synthetic material change by oxidation uv and moisture and should be replaced before 50 years. There are exceptions but those are not systematically used in saxophones. The water adsorption is a smaller perk. Cork can swell around 10% by water. When a mouthpiece has a lose fit at the beginning it will have a better fit after a few hours playing. [/QUOTE]
