Re: Bass clarinet peg broke off

I have a memory of re-soldering one of these one of these in the past, Actually I replaced it. The flange that connected it to the bell separated from the rest of the peg assembly. To repair it I would have had to remove the flange, remove the soft solder, re-braze a very large joint and re-solder the assembly to the bell. I expected I would loose a lot of plating and it would look bad (I don't do re-plating). I bought another peg assemble, took off the remaining flange and soldered the new piece on. Considering my labor costs, it was probably a less expensive repair.

A longer peg will have more leverage.
