I have E11 serial number 643,xxx.
Lower tenon on upper joint has broken completely(about 60~70% are gone).
Try to upload a photo but "Add Attachments" doesn't work for me.
What could be the best way to make this horn live?
I sent email to Windcraft to get a quote for upper joint.
Can this be fixed?
Is this horn under warranty, maybe?
Thanks in advance.

That should be fixable. You will need to have the old tenon bored out on a lathe and then a new tenon will be inserted in the hole and turned to the proper size both inside and out.

If it's done properly it'll be plenty strong. Some of the techs here can give you specifics but usually the new tenon extends a fair distance into the body of the joint so it should be just as strong as the original.

I haven't replaced one for a while but I recall I usually put the depth of recess at about 25mm, i.e. actually slightly longer than the exposed part of the tenon.
It should be plenty strong enough (as long as you don't do again whatever it was you did this one!)
I haven't had a repaired one one come back again yet (touch grenadilla).

This is actually my friend's(beginner) horn.
He usually leave horn assembled after playing.
He doesn't want to tell me what happened.

Another option is to glue a new tenon (or the old one if enough is left in tact, possibly with feelers) and add stainless steel pins. It's also important for the pins to pass through the point where the joint changes to the tenon. In spite of the glue being at the transition from body to tenon, this is probably stronger because of the steel pins there. There are some critical things with this repair make the gluing secure. Replacing the tenon as described in other posts is also a very good repair for this.
