So long as the crack has been properly repaired and sows no signs of reopening, then it should be fine. Some even find oboes that have cracked have a more open tone and sing better as the stress in the wood has gone, but the main thing is if it has been repaired well after it cracked and is now stable.

Chances are it's a 901 which is the most popular Marigaux- my teacher has one of these from 1972 (see attachment) which she bought in the UK and then it cracked nearly all the way down both sides of the top joint when she took it back to Minnesota and played it in winter, but it's still going strong to this day. I took it off her the other year and completely overhauled it - she thought I was only changing the low C# pad, but I did the lot and only charged her for the low C# pad.
