And the real world experience of tone holes becoming unsoldered, I suspect, is much less than people are afraid of.
In fact it's rather more common than people imagine.
Case in point. I recently worked on a Martin that had previously been 'overhauled'...and then serviced by a renowned repairer.
I found four dodgy toneholes.
It's not just that it's hard to see if the joints have been compromised, it's more that those who ought to know better aren't adequately testing them.
