Others have given good advice already on the prevention of cracks.
However I also wanted to let you know that usually cracks can also be
successfully repaired if they should occur.

My daughter's oboe cracked almost the full length of the upper joint and
they were able to repair it. This was an extreme and rare case but it
was successful (5 pins!).
