Did I read somewhere that holes/cracks can be fixed in ways other than patching? I'm guessing this would be dependent on the severity (size?) of the damage?

Can anyone with experience give their views of any and all techniches for this and the pros/cons... Also, if patching is used, what is the best techniques in doing this - does it make 'much' of a difference to how an instrument plays??

Many thanks in advance!
