Re: Metal Tenons instal

Same with a 1938 Buffet I worked on with an articulated G# - it has a tenon ring on the middle tenon only (and a lined socket). I did fit a metal tenon ring to the top tenon as the wood had been rounded off - I assume the tenon was 'fitted' a long while back.

Selmer and Yamaha (on the few full Boehms Yamaha have made) have the lined middle socket (as on oboes) though this will cause the wood to split between the C#/G# and C/G toneholes when the wood shrinks, though no metal tenon ring.

However, my Leblanc LL full Boehm has an unlined middle socket and no metal tenon ring - so each manufacturer has their own idea of what's best, or what they feel is necessary.

In all cases, the effect of this has no effect on the tuning or playability of the clarinet.
