Re: Buffet Prestige Middle Tenon Woes...

I have to go with the vote for a better (or more precise) socket/tenon design for current materials. Making a one piece body would greatly reduce the number of instruments that could be made from the available supply of billets. Using shorter sections means that you can be more selective about the quality of wood you use.

I am in the middle of a complete overhaul on my brother's Buffet A from the early 1950s. The grain is so tight you can barely see it. The center joint has no wobble and no binding with no cork on it. When completely stripped down, both joints have a lovely ring when gently tapped. I don't believe either his R13 A or Bb could match this fine old instrument for quality of materials (except for those darn small diameter pivot rods for which I have to use magnifying glasses to find the screwdriver slots with these old eyes).
