Yamaha should offer the Duet+ option on their pro level clarinets instead of just the 400 series. They do on their oboes (400 series with cast bore and integrally cast tonehole bushes and 800 series with an ebonite bore lining and inset tonehole bushes), so no reason why their Custom series clarinets can't have an ebonite sleeved top joint bore with plastic tonehole bushings rather than going for a fully synthetic top joint.
I can't put a number on how many Buffet clarinets I've worked on where the tenon corks peeled off in a single piece leaving a nearly clean tenon slot. I've also had ones stored in those double cases where the bells were never removed and the cork fused to the bell sockets, but the glue had failed in the tenon slots so the bells would rotate but couldn't be removed.
