Interesting then, that for some models of Selmer Paris, it is completely random where tenon caps have been used. On their current top models, to my knowledge they are always used.
"..IF a Tenon Cap were installed on a model which ordinarily did not employ a Tenon Cap - that would be a dead giveaway of a repair..."
Not necessarily true. It could well be regarded as a strengthening or protecting improvement. I know of no tenon caps used for cosmetic reasons. That is far too much trouble to go to in a place that is not normally seen, for cosmetic reasons. However, a well-done capping job looks very good cosmetically, which is one reason I use silver for one of my methods.
Yes, grafts may be of polymer materials, but personally, I have never encountered a polymer tenon cap. If the material were very thin, it would offer little strengthening. However a valid 'operation' would perhaps be to completely remove the lip beyond the cork, and instead, sleeve with a polymer ring. My reservation would be, why be so destructive for so little gain?
To clarify my last post, I would suggest that manufacturers mainly use caps (on top models only, and most oboes to stabilise the diameter of the tenon, and to offer more strength against damage. I use after-market tenon capping almost exclusively for diameter gap filling, followed by the offering of added strength (*and filler containment, after filling a damaged area.
