Hopefully they have changed it and it's more durable. A couple of repairers mentioned this but I have no idea where they heard about it or if it's really true.

Maybe worth mentioning, I usually don't do grafts even for broken tenons. I prefer to re-glue with reinforcement pins, which is at least as strong as a graft. If the broken tenon allows it, then it's much quicker and simpler with no disadvantage (though still a pretty significant amount of work). Worked great even for a bass clarinet middle socket.

I only grafted a new tenon for the one in the photo (it's a Buffet 1193 bass) because there wasn't space around the circumference for enough pins. I actually reinforced the graft with a few pins. You can vaguely see the pin holes and tiny pin vent holes in the 4th photo.
