 Re: Why not protective tenon caps for storage?

Tenon covers aren't meant to be a tight fit on the cork (ie. as tight a fit as a socket is) - they should be a slightly loose fit (only just held on lightly by the widest diameter of the cork, almost falling off) and should not compress the cork at all.

If thet are a tight fit (fitted to the tenon rather than to the larger diameter of the cork as a socket is) then you'll have trouble getting them off once they're put on. And if they compress the cork as much as the sockets do, then this'll be just as bad as leaving the clarinet in one piece and you'll have loose joints.

So any tenon cover should be a relatively loose fit with no compression or influence on the cork at all.
