 Re: A repaired crack in a oboe

Provided it has been repaired well, it shouldn't cause any problems playing wise, but it will take the value down should you want to sell it compared to one that hasn't cracked.

Chances are it may even play better once it has cracked as the stress in the wood has been released - some have experienced their oboes (and clarinets) play more freely once they've cracked.

It's not the end of the world if it has cracked and can be repaired, so don't worry too much if it has. But do get it dealt with immediately.
