So, I've had my Koa Pili Koko a few months now. And I've taken excellent care of it- I've never dropped it, or even hit it against anything. I've kept it in a case with a humidifier and monitored the humitidy in the case (keeping it at 50%).
And, I went exacty two days without playing it. I opened the case to make sure the humidity was good and all- but didn't play.
Well, today I pick it up to play and find that there is a large 2.5 inch crack on the front, near the lower right bout.
I feel like crying. I mean, I'm screwed, right? There is no way to fix that.
I tried to take some pics, but the crack doesn't show up.
The wood does piano key- or I can press near the crack and get an up-down movement.
I feel like crying. I really have no idea what I did wrong... I calibrated my hygrometer biweekly- and as I said before, checked the humidity daily- even if I didn't play the instrument.
Blah... and won I'm rambling... Is there any way to fix such a crack or is my instrument truely ruined?
