Over the few years I have been playing and renovating written off clarinets I have been tormented by questions of what happens to them down the road. After watching that video I am at rest on that issue. Two days ago a woman called in respose to my ad seeking disfunctional , broken and or rotted clarinets for amateur hobby restoration and play. She said she loved the ad and wanted to buy a clarinet from me. I told her that my clarinets were merely folk instruments and probably not capable of concert pitch performance. She said she did not care. She just wanted to share in the quest of bringing life to an otherwise lost clarinet.
On the original question of wobbly tenons. I tighten mine by wrapping narrow strips of plastic chocolate bar wrapper around the tenon where necessary. Sometimes they last for months . At other times only days. I keep a few wrappers and strips with my tools just in case I need them for that use.
