Wonderful precision you've built into your work ethic. I have a tenon on my old wooden clarinet that needs to have something like this done, but fear what the repair will run since its grenadilla wood and now protected by CITE regulations. Thank you for showing the involved process required to repair these old woodwinds.
Thank you! I made a set of wooden receivers that fit into the headstock. The top of the oboe fits into a tapered hole, so it's a simple friction fit - no clamping.
Nicely done, very well filmed (if watched at 0.25 speed). Definitely like. But why the new sleeve is better than the old one? Seems like it keeps the same lateral play and unsecure connection on both metallic and wooden parts? (3:01)
+Victor Medina The old tenon was worn and loose. The new sleeve makes it a perfect fit so there is no play. That's the whole point of the repair. The wood and metal shoulders need to stop the tenon wobbling, and the cork is just there to make the joint airtight and secure.
Hello from a Montreal (Canada) oboe repairman :) Great video and great job! Would you be kind enough to tell me your source for nickel silver bar? Are you using a particular alloy? (I don't know if this is how you call it there... the metal. Maillechort in french) Thanks :)

Wonderful video. May I ask how you are holding the oboe at the headstock end for turning?

No play. The new shoulders are a snug fit in the socket

Thanks :)
