 RE: string for cork tenons

Bob, the tenon cork prob ably needs to be well cleaned and the teflon wrapped as tight as possible without breaking. And yes, the cork was possibly still too large. Once the tape is established it seems to last well, even without a screw-on action for assembly. From customers' instruments I've seen it seems to be good for taking up slack between the timber parts of a tenon at the inner end of the tenon.

Eddie, unless there is a glue involved (as you do) I cannot see how binding saves a bassoon tenon from damage. It would only reinforce against damage from WITHIN the instrumnet, which the instrument is not really subject to. Tenons are damaged by localized knocks to the OUTSIDE of part of the tenon, or from pressure to the outside by 'bending' the instrument while it is assembled. The binding does not provide a protective force to oppose abusive forces from outside the instrument.
