Yes carbon banding (at least how I do it and I believe this is only option) involves using carbon fibre "tow" a narrow band of carbon fibres wound around the instrument usually in a shallow recess. I use expoxy to soak and strengthen/fix the fibre, have not used CA glue for this yet but it would probably work OK.

Best of luck with the Alto!!

In clarinet terms a "Nerd" is someone who owns their own Alto!!

(I own 3 - a mid 30's Bundy (Paris) with double octave mech.. bought in pawn shop in Woodstock for $25 in about 1965 - before Woodstock became famous... it also had quite a long pinned crack but this has never moved - mind you very little playing
- the Leblanc - still waiting to find time to make a neck
- a lovely German system from 1939 complete with engraved swastica on the bell - just couldn't resist it at the price.)

At my age I think it's maybe about time to retire gracefully to the lower regions and let a younger generation scream around above the stave.
