 RE: string for cork tenons

Thread binding on bassoon tenons is mandatory for the very reason I mentioned above. The wood at the tenon ends of a bassoon is so thin and vulnerable (and it's Maple not grenadilla) but this is not so much the case with a clarinet. I share your detestation Gordon and therefore get round the problem in the following manner.
Using plain thread, tightly bind the tenon with just a few turns and run superglue into the thread. This instantly solidifiies the thread-turns and supports the tenon in a manner more akin to it being wired. Then cork over this in the normal way, thus achieving the best of both worlds. This is obviously not obligatory on the smaller and stronger joint of a clarinet but is a usefull way to repair and support a tenon which has split due to trauma but is still in place and intact.
