An advisory about cracking.
If your oboe cracks, and you need to play it right away- do not be tempted
to simply fill the crack with glue immediately as an "emergency" repair.
Do not play a newly cracked oboe.
Use a different oboe or borrow another oboe. The crack (wood) needs time (say three days at least) to relax. If you glue the crack immediately, the glue hardens and then acts as a wedge as the wood relaxes. Usually results in a secondary (new) crack, or makes the original crack much worse The best approach is to let the wood relax (oboe not played!) for three days or so, then excise the crack, then fill with thin flowing cyanoacrylate glue.
