 Re: Cracked clarinet - repair or replace?

I have repaired many cracks in clarinets and oboes. I install pins about every 1/2 inch along the crack to stabilize the crack so it does not spead any further. Then I fill the crack and the entry holes for the pins to give the instrument a nice appearance. I have not had any complaints about the crack opening again.

How long can a crack be and still be repaired? I recently repaired a crack in an oboe upper joint that ran almost the entire lenght of the upper joint. It took 11 pins to stabilize it.
