It's a very small crack, near one of the swirly holes in my violin(I don't know what they're called.) but my teacher says that it could get bigger...especially with winter coming and stuff. How would they repair it? My teacher also said something about humidifiers. Information about that would be nice, too.

Unless it's very close to the F hole (that's what they're called) then to repair it you'd have to remove the top. Go to your nearest music store and get the humidifier your teacher spoke of and deploy it immediately; that will prevent further splitting. It's probably splitting due to being dried out. I wouldn't attempt the repair yourself; go to a local luthier if you can find one. Check your local music shop; if there's not one on premises they should be able to refer you to one.

You need to take it to a violin repairman. He can repair it. If you don't know where to get it repaired there is a very experienced one in Baton Rouge, Louisiana , named John Babb. He may could tell you how to find a repairman in your area.You would have to look up his name in the phone directory. Hope you can find one. HE can usally do that sort of thing or anything else that needs doing.I believe he would glue it and may use a patch on the inside of some sort. If depends on where the crack is, how bad it is, how old the instrument is. A good violin repairman could answer all your questions about you instrument includeing humidifiers.Also, you may look in phone book for music shops that deal with violins, they may could help you get a repairman.

oftentimes yet no longer continuously even as device look like they're destroyed, it in hardship-free words takes some minor artwork to fix them. My wager is that the tail-gut broke or got here loose. A $10 merchandise. Now the question is what's going to the can charge be for putting it back jointly. in case you could take it to a school orchestra instructor or a violin instructor to look at it, you would have a miles better effective concept.

umm, I'd just take it to a local instrument shop... Normally the ones that sell them also repair them, ask them how much it would be to repair it before you give it to them to actually repair, it may not be cheap because of the use of their time
