Here are some various methods of clamping broken scrolls. Basically if you can align everything up using your hands you can figure out some way to apply pressure in this or that direction.

This is a shot of a scroll that was broken once before and repaired by another shop. Then it broke again in a slightly different spot and was basically totally sheered off. These are the bofore photos, but I can't seem to locate the after photo, but it's nearly invisiable.

Here is another scroll that was broken, this type of break is more typical. If it goes through one of two peg holes they need to be bushed with a spiral bushing. The bushing keeps the peg from expanding the peg hole and opening the crack.

This is a crack in the scroll that did not go all the way through, but it needed a lot of clamping pressure to get it completely closed.

A violin scroll that's broken just where the neck starts, it's a very short break so I needed to put in two stainless steel pins under the nut.

Here is a violin that has a bad crack running through most of the scroll. It had custom made brass plates that were screwed onto the sides. The crack was completely open and only the plates were holding it together.
