Re: cracking instruments

It's not so much the cold which causes cracking it's the lack of humidity & the combination of moist inner bore with dry outer bore.

Here's an article with details by the late Edmund Nielsen:

Of course, it's a good idea to warm up the instrument if at all possible so as not to provoke excessive condensation inside the bore, causing water to clog the tone holes.
