Ted Casher here. Sometime ago, the same thing happened to me w/a Selmer
Series 10. Emilio Lyons fixed the crack w/Crazy Glue. I played it for 15
years until the crack opened up while playing the Brown University Campus
Dance in 34F-degree weather, in May, yet! I had it pinned.

I now play on two Selmer 10Gs. The sound is bigger for jazz.

Good luck,

Ted Casher
