 Re: Cracked clarinet - repair or replace?

The grain is a bit wavy towards the top tenon just above the top trill tonehole, so I reckon the crack follows a wavy line.

But still the crack hasn't made itself shown at all, even under strong light. There's several surface vessels that look like they could be cracks but these aren't in the place where the crack is reported to be. Plus the fact it has the wire brush finish to the wood that Buffet seem to like using rather than a completely smooth polished finish, which would make any crack more obvious as the surface finish would be broken following the line of the crack.

So what I've done now is plugged up all the toneholes and the top end of the bore, turned the joint upside down and filled it with warm water - if that won't make it open up, then I don't know what will! Let's hope it doesn't work TOO well!
