Epoxy is quite strong and if the clarinet were dropped it would probably break in a different place. You only paid $35 US for it so have fun with it. As far as the ridge goes it may affect tuning, but you'll have to check it out for yourself. I was reading an old article earilier today from the Instrumentalist Anthology. I came upon an article (the author escapes me at the moment) who advocated placing a piece of string or small cord through the more of the instrument (attatching it with tape at the end of the bell and placing some kind of small pin or whatever to hold it in place between the tenons) to help bring the pitch of a clarinet up throughout the instrument. I thought it kind of strange at the moment, but maybe I'll try it one day when I get a little bored and see if it works.
