So we Alto and Bass fanciers are "dwellers of the lower regions". The term does have a nice ring to it!!
Your carbon fibre banding technique sounds much like the method I use for strengthening and/or building up a cracked or too small tenon . I've been using small diameter (finer than sewing thread) high-tech braided fishing line (the expensive stuff thats 10 times stronger than monofilament nylon) wrapping one or more layers around the tenon 'shoulder', underneath the cork (before replacing cork) or at the tenon tip (to make the joint less 'wobbly'). I use CA glue as a "fixative" since it bonds to grenadilla well, but must admit CA glue (at least the fast-set stuff) often gets a 'frosty' look, and doesn't 'level' at all well. If you try CA to 'fix' your carbon band, try to find some cheap- 'past its expiration date'- slow to set stuff, as it sets shiny. I got some old CA thin stuff out of HongKong that takes several hours to set (without spraying on some accellerant). Still doesn't 'level' like urethane or epoxy , but adheres well to grenadilla, and is "hard", more like urethane or fiberglass resin.
The 'Spectra' type microfibre-polyetholene is very low stretch, like dacron, but probably not so much as carbon fibre. I'll try carbon fibre thread if I ever find any, and give it a try.
