It's that time of year again, but a little twist with my problem. I have a small chip on the top joint of my bass clarinet, what should I do? My warranty is still good just to let you know.

That looks like a worm hole that's been filled in - it shouldn't cause any problems.

When I say worm hole, it is in fact a hole bored through the wood by some kind of beetle larva.
Not sure what beetle species it is exactly, but it's long gone and I dread to think what it's like if it can chew through grenadilla which is one of the hardest woods.
Maybe someone can genetically modify them into various sizes and with instincts to bore holes through the correct places to produce all the necessary holes and bore for instrument joints, so all that's left to do is turn the outer diameter, turn the tenons, cut the bedplaces and thread the blind holes for pillars.

LOL.
Maybe cross-breed a grenadilla tree with a cork oak tree to save a little more labour?
