It is impossible to tell whether a piece of wood has an internal flaw that
will eventually cause a crack. Even careful selection from the highest
quality fully cured wood cannot guarantee that there is no internal flaw in
the wood. To say that high quality instruments should not crack is
uninformed and naive.
