 Re: Cracked clarinet - repair or replace?

A pin stabilises a crack at a depth of several mm below the surface. It surely then has limited effect in stabilising the stresses in the SURFACE of the timber. Therefore I have reservations about expecting pins, on their own, to hold a closed crack, stably closed across tone holes.

I prefer to open the crack a bit and use glue/filler. Then the surface is more likely to be either stress-relieved or under compression during future use of the instrument, rather than under tension. As soon as the area is again under tension at the surface, an unglued/unfilled crack will surely again open across a tone hole, causing an intermittent leak, especially when the instrument is practised a lot prior to a concert. (It is at these times that the moisture gradient through the timber wall is increased.)
