Chris, according to the seller, the top hairline crack hasn't run all the way around the circumference, still very much intact and rigid, so what I am hoping to do first when I get it is to use some strong filler/glue to fill in the crack, then wrap some thick electrician tape around it a couple of times to get it air tight. I know, I know, it will look unsightly this home made solution, but I need to do this to assess how the instrument actually plays and its potential and where else it needs attention (pads, keys, springs, etc.)
I will see if local guys have more elegant solutions. I will also show them your valuable recommendation.
This Vito contra has same bore size as its Bb big brother, and larger than the Selmer USA/Bundy Eb contra, so I wonder how unique its sound will be.
Thanks!
