You'd be at amazed how many broken tenon joints we see. It is possible to
completely replace a tenon. Broken sockets, which are thinner and more
prone to damage, generally require replacement of the whole joint, mostly
by nature of the design. I suppose since the Greenline blanks can stand
the original boring process, they could take the tenon replacement work,
but it would be interesting to see for sure.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
