Re: Tenon binding

Hi,

I recently had the same issue with my new Yamaha CS Custom. Eric Satterlee at Meridian Winds, using a small scraper, handled it just a few minutes just as Chris P. described above.

"the real cure is to have the tenon rings skimmed to remove just enough wood so the tenons fit in the sockets without binding nor rocking, so scrape a little off at a time and check the fit. Then inspect the tenon rings for binding caused by high spots which will look shiny against the dull freshly scraped wood and then scrape the high spots. Then check again and repeat until the tenon fits perfectly."

During these last few months of winter weather here in OH, I watched the fit on the tenon. No problem as I have kept a moisturizer (small pill bottle with a damp sponge) in the case.
