 Re: Playing a new oboe outside

Cracks mostly happen to the outside of the joint as the internal pressure causes it. Depending where the crack happens it can seriously compromise playing if it cracks through toneholes causing a leak (usually between the 8ve vents or trill keys) or if it runs down the side and not through any toneholes, it won't do any harm to playability.

It's best if the crack runs between toneholes as it usually goes no further than the lowest tonehole the crack enters and can then be repaired by filling the crack, pinning and bushing the toneholes. Cracks that run down the sides can either terminate in a pillar hole or run from top to bottom if left unchecked. They can be halted by drilling into the joint at the lowest point of the crack, then the lot can be filled and pinned.

Cracks won't normally start from the bore as the walls of the bore are in compression and that pushes outwards. Some cracks (usually tenon cracks) can enter the bore, but these can be filled easily.
