I can't understand why you'd want a crack repair to be reversible on any woodwind instrument. If the repair is a success and lasts for the rest of the instrument's life, then why would you want to muck around with it?

Some cosmetic repairs have a lot to be desired such as flush banding or pinning leaving the ends of the pins showing, but they can be tidied up by milling slots so the ends of the pins can be hidden with superglue and wood dust, or flush bands can be removed and carbon fibre bands fitted in place which are then hidden with superglue and wood dust to match the rest of the joint, only some cases the logos have often been cut through (ie. Selmers) which is a shame.
