All wooden instruments have the potential to crack. I've recently banded a cracked Marigaux which had a crack running from the 3rd 8ve tonehole to the LH1 tonehole and through the trill toneholes, so I bushed all the affected toneholes. The carbon fibre bands went around the joint above the 3rd 8ve tonehole and below the LH1 tonehole so that should keep things in check.
