Re: Replacing a tennon end cap?

Any good technician or woodwind specialist of merit will be able to make and fit a new tenon cap with no trouble - it's a fairly routine operation on older oboes and clarinets where they've come loose (and an oboe bottom joint tenon cap is a similar size to a clarinet top tenon cap), though probably best to have one turned from nickel silver rod and made to measure.

The top tenon cap is also preventing water getting into the end grain as long as it's well fitted and sealed - if it is loose, water can get in and eventually rot the wood.
