The middle tenon on all Boehm system clarinets is the one that has to be the most secure due to the linkage (or linkages) that cross it to ensure they're in perfect regulation. If the joint rocks, then the adjustment is compromised.

Alto, basset horn and bass clarinets also need the lower joint tenon to be a solid fit in the bell socket to ensure the bell key closes in regulation with the other keys and also for player comfort if using a floor spike - a loose fitting bell will rock causing the whole instrument to feel unstable while playing.
