Warranty work?? Can it be fixed??? Doesn't go all the way though, but looks
pretty bad, and could get worse. >>
This is a pretty standard repair. Ferree's sells all kinds of tools to do
this plus an insert which you can glue in and drill.
However, if this is truly a wood defect, I'd go after the manufacturer big
time.

Wait, wait, it is not a chip. It goes all the way through, and is pretty
big. She did not abuse, nor drop it. Equal to a corner missing. It is a
Leblanc Concerto model.
