Re: Shattered tenon- repairable?

Perhaps you should discuss this frankly with him/her.

I doubt many (if any?) other technicians are doing the lathe-less method I developed for myself, and only a minority of technicians have sufficient lathe facilities to carry out other methods adequately and accurately, as I indicated in my previous post. The 'stock' caps (tenon rings) that are available actually fit very few instruments.

I use my lathe-less method when tenons are loose. For a tenon that is already of sufficient diameter not to be loose, I would first remove some diameter of the end of the tenon. I also sometimes remove material to make the tenon end cylindrical.

Probably all other procedures and situations also involve removing some timber from the tenon. That is fine, providing the result is accurate and reliable.

What you DON'T want is your clarinet tenon 'mutilated' to fit a tenon ring which is a really loose fit in your tenon socket, by a technician with a poor perception of precision workmanship.

BTW, when Selmer Paris install original tenon rings on some tenons, these rings are beautifully set into the end of the timber. For some brands, you may have the option of sending your instrument back to the manufacturer for this work.
