Re: Breakage in plastic body

Thank you Chris, Dave, and Ron for your response, I haven’t yet received the instrument but it was a good price so I jumped at it and bought it last night. It’s a Vito plastic contra alto has the normal upper and bottom joints but permanently fastened with screws and metal plate. It can be dissembled for repair if needed but normally handled as one piece.

I have 3 photos that the seller sent me, they show the horizontal crack on the upper joint above the Vito logo, and also show the other crack that is near the metal plate/fastener where upper and lower joints meet. To my semi trained eyes, the upper crack looks like it has been filled but the scar is still visible. The lower crack looks to be also filled and further more fastened with a screw fastener you see plumbers use.

I tried to attach them to this message and am having trouble with it. Anyone who is interested to see them, please email me at hwedinburgh@hotmail.com and I will send them to you.

According to the seller, his repair tech did the work and it has been played for last 2 years. What do you guys think of the damage and repair done to it?

Thanks.

Willy
