Re: Bell crack repair question

Thank you very much.

Chris - the crack has got to be cleaned anyway, so I am guessing I'll need to clean it with some alcohol. That should in theory push all the oils away from the surface and prep it for gluing (think gluing cocobolo and other oily woods)?

I'll try to figure out the threads - worst case scenario would be tapping the pillars for a slightly bigger thread?

The clarinet's serial number is 19076. I'll take a guess that is 1907, #6 as I cannot imagine a small, little known manufacturer at the start of 1900s running into 19k instruments ... but that's just a daft guess. It's a pity there's no info on the makers - it would be nice to know their story.
