<<  is, would Weldbond be the better glue choice
 for the repair? And would a piece of ivory keytop (of which I have some)
serve
 as an adequte reinforcement or would it be better to use thin veneer. This is
 an instrument that is in rather poor condition but it's all the family has
and
 can afford. >>
Ralph:

This sounds like a perfect place to use CA glue.  Reinforce the sides with
whatever, but glue the crack ,hold it steady and "shoot" it with an
accelerator.  Ifr you haven't used this yet, this would be a pefect spot.
Let the list know what you finally did and what worked.
