 Why not protective tenon caps for storage?
Author: C2thew

I've been looking at oboes for a while and have noticed that there are protective endcaps that are put on over the tenon joint corks for storage when it hit me, why aren't other manufacturers doing this? The benefits of having these endcaps would be the prevention of wood staining from wet corks after having played. over time, the brown in the tenon corks + the saliva seap into the case covering and help generate stainings and possibly smells.

So what's the dillio. why aren't manufacturers including protective endcaps for the joint corks? ok go!

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York
