I've got an N series BT with the socket cracked through to the C/G tonehole - I carbon fibre banded it and that's done the trick.
I banded a similar socket crack on a Peter Eaton that was caused by a worm hole in the socket just below the socket ring - in truth the joint should've been scrapped when it was discovered at the time of machining it, but the clarinet was finished and the crack developed due to the pressure of the tenon cork within the socket.
