cracks

The subject of cracks in wood clarinets comes up frequently but I recently purchased a clarinet with a repaired barrel that used a repair procedure I've not seen previously. Evidently the rings were removed, the crack opened up with a micro saw and a sliver of a different wood inserted,glued and the rings reattached. I assume that the softer wood acted as a cushion for the subsequent movement of the original wood.

I have one like it, except that it looks like the crack was filled with epoxy. A repair tech gave it to me as a junker. It doesn't play at all.

How does yours play?
