Default How to stiffen a limp gooseneck?

Try bicycle handlebar tape, wrapped tightly and taped to secure finish end.
It's available in cork and other materials. If this doesn't provide a stiff
enough gooseneck, remove wrap and first wrap gooseneck with cloth tape, then
re-apply wrap.

Our club flagship--a K21 has an aging problem. The gooseneck (for the
microphone) has gone limp. I have considered splints and ductape, but that
is cumbersome and unsightly. I am looking for rejuvenation if possible.

Replacing it is possible, but it looks like some fine wire splicing will
be needed. Not impossible, but would prefer something simpler.

Any ideas out there?

TIA
