• Avoid as much as possible any harsh folds of the flat cable, favor progressive
curves.
• Limit repetedly folding the flat cable in the same place; if folding is essential
(often the case on the clarinet), do not smooth the cable between each use and
use the same fold each time you use it.
• The cork must be properly adjusted and lubricated (not too tight, not too
loose), the friction between the mouthpiece and the cork must be moderate.
• A mouthpiece with a small chamfer or curve at the entrance of the bore is
preferable to preserve the flat cable. Talk about it to your luthier.
• Unplug the connector before performing the assembly.
