Re: Best way to fix binding tenon?

Have that repairman fix the wood not you. It's kinda hard to remove the wood evenly so a wood lathe is ideal. This is unless the cork is binding. If it's the cork you can try a wood nail file and rotate the clarinet when you are doing this. Or you can try and cut a piece of 220 sandpaper.

As for the crack I'd use superglue as a filler and to stop it from expanding. Sometimes you may hear a vibration in the bell when playing the low notes. This is the crack. The wood vibrating. Unusual for sure. But it can happen.
