 Re: String instead of cork
Author: Caroline Smale

Thread certainly does have a very important role to play in strengthening the tenons on bassoons, especially those on the long joint where the tenon is only about 3 mm thick, and that is before a groove for the twine is cut into it.
The maple wood is also relatively weak and benefits from the extra strengthening that the twine provides.

So it makes sense that a cracked tenon on a clarinet has some extra reinforcing under the cork, although hopefully the crack had also been cleaned and glued before the twine was applied.

It's also worth noting that most basson joints are generally slightly tapered and made more loose fit than on a clarinet to allow the joints to be assembled by pushing straight in without twisting. They only fully tighten up when pushed the final few millimeters.
