 Re: How do you ID cracks in wood oboes?

This is a good/informative topic.
I had a wood RIEC for years that never cracked. I also have a Marigaux with 5+ cracks, even though I treated the two instruments the same way. I didn't know the Marigaux was cracked until the repairman discovered several cracks in the tone holes during yearly service. However, I did notice that playing pianissimo on high F was difficult. Perhaps "invisible" cracks hidden under keys are identifiable by changes in how the instrument responds.
