Two years later, probably not. But it would be worth the effort to take it
back where you got it and try. I know our store got a cracked Selmer
repaired under warrantee recently which technically was no longer covered.
A chipped tenon and/or its repair should not affect tone to any hearable or
measureable degree.

By the way, we recently had a new Reynolds clarinet in the store for
evaluation to see if we would like to carry the line. I'm not sure who
actually made it for them, but the same company's BASS clarinet is
obviously a Vito/Yamaha. It seemed to be well made and played well for a
student wood clarinet, without the exaggerated throat sharpness of many
such instruments. The warrantee paper in the case said it was covered for
crack repair for TEN YEARS!

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