Pan American "Violin finish" clarinet socket graft

Author: jdbassplayer

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Pan American Violin finish clarinet that has a socket that was badly damaged. There are multiple large chips in the wood, however the damage does not go past the socket. The most logical solution would be a socket graft, however the only replacement sockets I have are black, which would stand out on the clarinet. I am debating whether to just install a black socket graft and disregard the cosmetics or whether I should try to find some kind of replacement joint which would be very difficult. So I guess my question would be what some of you other repair men would do in this situation. The repair would also have to be economical as well as logical.
All opinions are appreciated
