Re: Buffet Prestige Middle Tenon Woes...

It's still preferable for tenons to be on the tight side than too loose as tight or binding tenons can be fixed easily by removing just enough wood from the tenon rings to achieve a good fit, whereas loose tenons need more drastic action to build up the tenon rings and then they need fitting to the sockets (as well as a new tenon cork).

In the '90s, every brand new Noblet and Leblanc clarinet I saw had the tenons bind up within the first few months of being sold.

It's always easier to remove material to achieve a good fit than it is to put material back to cure a wobbling joint.
