I bought my first wood oboe a few months back, and I am absolutely terrified about cracks. I've been taking all the preventative measures (I'm even lugging it around in an insulated tote bag between buildings!), but am still really worried because I don't know what I'm looking for. Whenever I notice a little line in the wood my heart stops, but it never appears to be open at all when I take a closer look with a flashlight. If somebody could tell me how I can differentiate cracks from just grain in the wood, it would put me more at ease.
Thanks!
