Darn, I was afraid of that. :( Does that impact the value? I'm not looking to sell it, of course, but I do want something that is worth what I paid. I am very lacking for techs (or even music stores) in our area. There is a guy about an hour away but all I know about him is that he services the local schools' instruments here. Is the repair something basic all techs would know how to do properly (and not botch)? And approximation of cost for such a repair?

Is there a way for me to tell (once I receive it) how bad the crack is (eyeball down inside the bore with a flashlight perhaps?) I will be bummed to not get to try it out (play it) once it arrives next week (after all this anticipation, lol) SO I guess what I'm trying to ask, is there a way for me to determine IF I can play it without doing more damage to it (til I can get it repaired properly)? Thanks again.
