"The first thing I thought of when you said bassoons have less of a cracking problem, is that they have that long bocal; Ehorns also have a bocal, though not nearly as long, and you don't read much about Ehorns cracking even though they are often played cold. I think it is the bocal that makes the difference."

Bassoons have a lined wing/tenor joint bore to protect it from the effects of moisture - they're maple with ebonite or resin lined bores on the narrow side as maple will soon rot if it wasn't lined. But that only goes so far to prevent rot as they can get butt rot or rot around the tonehole linings if water finds its way into the gaps between wood and metal.


Cors do crack, but considering playing time on them is usually much less compared to oboes, they don't crack as often, but they can still crack like any other wooden instrument.
