Re: Selmer N loose tenon

I've seen the brass tenon caps that Tony refers to. I'm not sure there haven't been some clarinets that were manufactured with them. They seemed to work well. I have an old R-13 from the 1950s that had become wobbly in the middle, and my repairman simply mounted a new cork that extended all the way down to the end of the tenon, covering the wood shoulder. It still does a good job of stabilizing the joint - although on an instrument in regular use it probably would need to be redone periodically. It isn't the clarinet I regularly use, so it hasn't had much stress put on it since the repair was made.
