Re: Tenon binding

I was recently told by my local tech that letting the clarinet rest unassembled for a couple weeks sometimes mitigates this issue without having to resort to taking wood off.

I have a new student with a Selmer he bought new several months before he started studying with me that started having this issue at the junction between the upper joint and barrel. I passed along the tech's advice but the mom "freaked out" (student's words) and took the instrument in to have wood removed. Was my tech mistaken?

Removing wood obviously can't be undone, so I was in favor of caution. He hadn't broken in the instrument properly. I suspect that contributed to the problem, which is now starting on another tenon.
