[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 411413, member: 2318"] I tend to honor the old standard that you can judge how well something is built by taking it apart and looking at the parts that aren't easily seen. So what I'd do is take off the stem and check that the tenon fits the mortise with a minimum of space left over. No need to damage the pipe. Just have available a way to measure the depth of the mortise and the length of the tenon. (Mortise == The chamber above the air passage into which the tennon fits. Yes?) [/QUOTE]
