Had a YPC62 in with a "loose" tenon (Yamaha's term - it was stuck in the headjoint, so I wouldn't really say loose) that I epoxied back together. Yamaha covered the repair under warranty and I assumed that they would have a standard amount they pay for specific warranty jobs, but they asked me what the bill was for the repair. Out of curiosity, what would you all charge for such a job?

It's been a while since I did one of these. If by loose socket you mean the remove with the heated expander, clean and re-epoxy routine, I'd guess at total 30-45 minutes total shop time?

I'd take the shop rate and multiply by the time/ material. Might try asking Yamaha what they estimate for repair time.
