Re: Shattered tenon- repairable?

If, yes IF selling is a major consideration, and providing that there is a local 'anal' attitude to repairs.....

The instrument in question is ALREADY damaged.
So the issue is which is better:

1. The evidence of a large (hence possibly insecure) filled chip.
2. A cosmetically beautiful reinforcement added to this filled chip.
3. A major operation which has been even more destructive, in order to install a grafted tenon.

Furthermore, when I see a brand new instrument from Le Blanc or Selmer, where SOME tenons are capped, but the middle one is not, I have to assume that these were damaged in manufacture, because the reasons for capping a centre tenon are far greater than for capping any other tenon. In mw's buying/selling climate, these would have to be rejects from the day they were born! I wonder if mw himself has created a microclimate in his personally large but globally small marketing world.

I would certainly have to acknowledge having created a microclimate attitude to repairs in the world around me.

A woman just came in to get a clarinet checked before she bought it. Artley student. Excellent value for money. Evidence of a broken off centre tenon socket, but also evidence of one of my superb pinning jobs, far stronger than the original or any grafting technique. The reinforcing makes this a better than original instrument, considering that plastic Artleys break rather easily.
