 Re: Cracked clarinet - repair or replace?

Fortunately I can get away without having to use any filler as the crack has closed up tight again.

I know I've been impatient, but with this job I haven't been given the amount of time I'd like to let things run their natural course, but now I have marked the exact line the crack has run I can make progress - the clarinet is being shipped to Japan on Tuesday (the same day I'm fitting the tonehole bushings and putting it back tgether) - I only had it delivered on Friday morning just gone.

Now the joint has been 'resting' after it's ordeal for over 24 hours I can go ahead with the pinning tomorrow afternoon to give it more time to 'rest' - it'll need 5 pins - the crack runs it's wavy course down and at the edges of the toneholes following the grain and terminates at the trill guide hole which is pretty deep, so it shouldn't spread further. It hasn't opened at the upper tenon end at all.

I don't like to have to rush a job as much as anyone else does, but I'm saving someone else's skin by doing this. Not for the first time either - they owe me more favours now than I can remember.
