Rudall Carte Repair

   

       So I paid a rather princely undisclosed sum for  Rudall Carte piccolo no. 7887 . The piccolo was /is in immaculate condition. Unfortunately as can happen it developed a hairline crack either during shipping or immediately upon arriving. I had done rather messy repairs in the past as quick fixes, but I wanted this to look good as well as seal. This repair has held up well through playing in, humid and dry conditions so far. It may well move again but hopefully not as it lives humidified now.

Here are before during and after photos. Black and white seemed to have better detail but really it's hard to see with a phone camera.
