Re: Shattered tenon- repairable?

Gordon said regarding non-OEM Tenon Caps being a "giveaway" to 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."
---------------------------
I wholeheartedly agree that Tenon Caps can serve a structural purpose - that was never an issue for me.

However, this conversation & its Threads are proof that all of us KNOW which clarinets have ("native" or factory installed) Tenon Caps & those which do not. e.g. Buffet R-13 NONE, Selmer Signature YES, etc.

That known & said, if I was a Buyer of a Clarinet that had a Tenon Cap installed which was not "factory issue" --- I would have to ask the question : "WHY does it have a Tenon Cap there ... ?"

That is the DEAD GIVEAWAY.

On the other hand, I have seen a Tenon Graft that was so finely & cleanly installed that an expert would do well to ask "Which Tenon was the one replaced". Much as I have asked Bill Brannen, "which tone hole was replaced ?" Much as I have asked Steve Fowler "how many pins & where" where the Crack didn't penetrate the Bore or a logo.

I am absolutely for FULL DISCLOSURE, however most Clarinetists are terribly ANAL regarding COSMETICS. It was the latter point that was the focus of my prior comment. For Clarinetists, CRACK is a 4-Letter word.
