Dear Snake, I fully agree with everything you've said, especially as it makes perfect sense. I do, however, think that humidity makes wood take a beating and that..."something goes"; the fibers maybe lose their elasticity. This debate has been going on for a long time and I doubt whether we will ever have conclusive evidence about whether this is true or not. Manufacturers would certainly not-as you have said-agree to replace a joint. It would be bad business. But once again, artisanal builders do this sort of thing, which is one advantage of getting a handcrafted instrument. An oboist friend of mind got the upper joint of his cors anglais replaced by Lorée and he claims it has never sounded so good.
