It was also around this time when B&H used the same width cutter to cut all the tenon slots, so leaving the middle tenon without a shoulder which made it unstable and can also crack the lower joint socket (terminating in the C/G tonehole). I build up the tenon ring as a matter of course when I get them in for a service or overhaul.

While the keywork was all over the shop, the best B&H clarinet when it came to tenons fitting perfectly in their respective sockets was a machined plastic bodied Edgware (with inset ebonite tonehole chimneys).
