I've never seen this, but a gentleman in our community band showed me his 3 year old S186 and told me that there's a split in it. I though he meant a brace or something was broken. No, the brass was split on the top bow in the back. The split was hairline and about 1 1/2" long in back outside bend. I've only seen this happen on Zildjian cymbals. To fix those, you usually drill a hole at the end of the split. I think that option is out. Our local dealer said best case repair would be a patch, worse case would be replace the entire bow. If it's patched and continues, I guess he has to to the worse case. Any other suggestions?
