Other than old wine bottles? No, I mean the thin stuff that's used on instruments like horns, violin chinrests, etc. Little help? Thanks!

I believe that if your after stuff for pads and the like you'll be best going for the real thing. Get in touch with a wind instrument repairer, maker. If you just want a source of cheap cork I use loads of it for pads on clamps and jigs. Try carpet tiles. Flooring supplies etc.
What do you need it for?

not sure exactly how thin you are looking for, but any home improvement (home depot, lowes, OSH, etc...) or home and kitchen store (Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and the like) sell rolls of cork to use as kitchen drawer linings. Don't have some in front of me, but i think it's about 1/16" thick.

A bagpipe chanter, but also pads on violins
The violin pad could be just about anything so long as it wasn't too thick, but I think I do need instrument grade cork for the chanter.This thread reminds me of the days when I would sit through lectures on 2,4,6-TCA

I'm pretty sure that way at the back of my closet I have a pair of cork platform soles from 1978.... they're yours if you want them...

But did they also tell you that "a musty taint in broiler chickens was shown to be due to the presence of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole?"This thread reminds me of the days when I would sit through lectures on 2,4,6-TCA

I thought bagpipe chanters typically used flax thread and beeswax to make the seal between sections. Are the modern ones different?

Yes, but after mine disintegrated I thought cork might be a better solution. A 200 year old tradition rather than a 500 year old one, or whatever. I don't think there is such a thing as a modern bagpipe
Mainly I need it for the violin thing, but I'd like to get something generally useful . . . like musty chicken taint!
