Cracks ................................................................................................................................................................................................................from

Whether accidental or not, cracks can usually be repaired.

Cracks are more or less serious according to where they are situated. A crack on the head joint is more problematical

Small cracks can be glued and/or ligatured.

Consult me for larger cracks which need to be consolidated or maintained with a ring.
