 Re: Cracked clarinet - repair or replace?

On the pins themselves, I measure the depth of the hole with a needle spring and put a file cut in the pin at this point, once the pin is screwed in as far as the file cut I snap it off, leaving the snapped end below the surface.

Then I mill out a hollow (between 4 or 5mm dia to a depth of 1-2mm) into the body where the pins went in, taking the ends of the pins down a bit as well and filling it flush with the body with wood dust and thin superglue, then filing the excess down, papering it all smooth and polishing it to finish so the repair is pretty much hidden - only under strong light can the fillings be seen.
