Check the tenon corks - if they're still the originals, then they often have an annoying habit of coming off in on go, and when least expected.

The problem being the lipstic-style cork grease is very thin once applied, and the cork soaks it up so it gets right down to the glue used to stick the tenon corks onto the tenons.

So they come clean away leaving the cork slot all greasy (so that will need cleaning up and degreasing), but replacing them is a routine thing for repairers.
