Speaking of beloved Coveys . . .
My most dearly beloved has cracked (again). This time, it is in the half-hole, right through the middle of the hole. Perhaps it is the original crack, extending.
I ripped off the keys and super-glued the cracks (two, on symmetrically opposite points in the tone hole itself -- not in the insert, in the counter-bored part of the tone hole itself).
Now I know why my half-hole was wonky, anyway. And as of this moment, the whole thing is playing reasonably well. But the top joint is still not holding a seal for more than about 3 seconds. I can't believe it still plays.
So, if I were looking for a replacement, where would I look? I cannot stand the idea of having a less beautiful tone than what I already have. Buffet Greenline? Yamaha? Marigaux?
This is a tragedy.
