Re: Crack repair

After having a new instrument crack near the top of the upper joint, a couple respected folks here and a well-known player and vendor of accessories suggested that they've had good luck with glue-based solutions that one can do oneself, and that sometimes avoid problems one can run into with pinning or banding. In the end, it was repaired under warranty by carbon fiber banding, and that's been quite successful to the point where playing it has been completely unaffected by the repair (I don't know the exact process, but there are a couple bands around the joint made out of carbon fiber, so "carbon fibre banded" is an exact description). So, some serious professionals say that gluing cracks yourself can be successful if you're somewhat handy. A lot probably depends on one's tolerance for the cosmetics of a do-it-yourself job.
