Strange tenon

Author: clarnibass

I'm wondering if anyone have seen one of these tenons. The strange part is under the tenon cork. Instead of the usual grrove there are only two big "waves" the entire length of the tenon. There is nothing good about it and if anything it only makes gluing the cork normally less secure.

This isn't so strange except this was on a Buffet R13 clarinet from early 1990s. I've never seen this on any Buffet, and every one, earlier or later than this one had the usual (better) groove. Actually an identical model (only Bb) from the exact same year was normal.

I think this clarinit was originally bought new in Russia, so I'm wondering if maybe that has something to do with it (i.e. maybe they were made differently depending on where they were going to sell) though that doesn't make sense really.

Any ideas...?
