The vocal cords do still drop , even here in 2016. The problem is that it takes forever to get him to drop them. I have farmed these and have gotten them 3 times I believe. I have killed this named somewhere around 150 times to get 3 of them. The rarest item from him though is the spirit wracked cord, which I have only seen once.
Still spawns as of this post (11/25/08). Dropped the cloak. Ive been camping him for the past 3 days; first spawn since ive been here; after the cords. Oh well. Ive got my box in trader and watching movies on the box's computer.
Edit: 5 spawns in 5 days; has dropped the cloak every time. Maybe the sixth will be the charm eh?

Went to Chardok with Druid and my Rogue, Hit track noticed this mob was up. So i took it apon myself to run down there. had rogue pick the lock. went in cleared top and bottom of library. Left Grand Lorekeeper for last, i pulled and killed em in a couple nukes. and by sheer luck he dropped the Preserved Chokidai Vocal Chords first kill. i then wanted to try an get 2nd pair, but luck was no longer on my side lol. i didnt see him spawn again.
Over 2 years later this item still drops.Did this quest on one of my toons and had no idea it dropped off this mob,it would saved alot of pain and time just getting it here off Grand Lorekeeper Kino Shai`din.
History of the Greenmist, my rogue and monk that I 2box went down there, dunno why i bring the monk along, the rogue can do it on his own and the monk usually goes splat caz he can't invis down there. But anyways yeah he can drop the History of the Greenmist book
The vocal cords still drop, I just got a pair yesteday. Killed with a 67 necro, 65 enchanter duo (I'm the enchanter). I pacified all the nearby sarnaks, then the necro sent in his pet, dotted and FDed. Killed him easily this way without training the whole room on ourselves. Watch out for the 2 or 3 roaming sarnaks though.
After 3 apprentice PHs and 1 Piza'Tak, Kino popped and dropped the cords, making me one happy enchanter. :) Now on to camp the herbalist for the necro's epic.
Edit: Oh yeah, worth mentioning that we both have dubious Chardok faction. That's how I was able to sit there and pacify the whole room without it aggroing on me. If you don't have non-KOS faction the room is just way too small to do this, imho.
the vocal cords do still drop, they are just a rare drop, off the rare spawn of the 2 named with the same place holder. I got my vocal cords at 2am on 03/01/2005
Howdy folks, I am really curious where this fellow spawns at as I would like to acquire the preserved chodikai vocal cords. Being max ally to Sarnak keeps me from killing en masse here but I think a couple faction hits to rebuild would be worth it for the fun of having a voice graft effect. And so... Does anyone have an /loc where this fellow or his placeholder spawns? I see a lot of talk under his drops about nothing that has to do with finding / killing him. Thanks for any info you may have.
You'll find this guy on the lower floor of the Library. He's just north of the trap door under the staircase (by the second locked door). His loc is neg 820, pos 980, neg 216.
The spot spawns two named -- Kino Shai'din and Loremaster Piza'tak -- as well as a placeholder, "an apprentice lorekeeper." The spot pops every 26 minutes or thereabout. Unfortunately Kino Shai'din is by far the rarest of the three.
The Lorekeeper dropped the Cords for us as well several months ago. Since then however we've killed him numerous times and he has not dropped them since. It's either an extremely rare drop, or it was a bugged loot table and it has been corrected by VI (without letting the players know of course).
