[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 509654, member: 3775"] I'm with Slowroll on this one. Give the pipes a good cleaning, especially in the mortise/airway. I'm betting good money that there is a buildup of tars and other goodies stopping the tenon from seating completely in the mortise. I'll often use the square end of a needle file to scrape the mortise walls and end - tars like to build up in the corners, and it takes surprisingly little muck in the right (or wrong) place to throw off the stem fit. Good luck and let us know how you make out! [/QUOTE]
