Re: Better after crack repaired?

FWIW, I've heard from various sources that a crack relieves tension in the wood and when sealed, actually lets the clarinet play better (supposedly, tension free). Personally, the best R13 I ever played was in Chuck Hedges repair shop. It belonged to a "Chicago Pro" (which Chuck would not name) and it was loaded with repaired cracks. It looked like one that you would throw away or convert into a lamp, but as we all know, looks are only "grain" deep. Big sound, even scale, definitely, "tension free" LOL.
