Re: Greenline tenon replacement

My view is that, when a break is called, you should be swabbing out your oboe anyway to remove any excess moisture. After that, it takes - what - 10 seconds to put it away in its case. Much better that than run the risk of keywork damage from a clodhopping viola player knocking over your pride and joy.

And no matter how 'soft' the Greenline's keywork or crumbly the tenons [my own Buffet Crampon wood professional oboe is made at least as well as my Loree cor anglais], it's a lot cheaper in the long run to spend 10 secs putting away your instrument than wasting hard earned wages paying to have something so easily-avoidable fixed.
