I'll probably mess this up, as it is my first post, EVER, to Harp-L...but here goes!

I had a similar problem...probably due to playing my chromatic in the car, leaving the chrom in the car, and the remaining moisture froze, splitting the comb in half!!

I disassembled the chrom (Learning Experience!!!), and filled the crack with Elmers White Glue....Let it dry, repeated with more glue, for good effect...and reassembled the chrom (Learning Experience II!)

The crack sealed well...and I'm still playing the chrom, a year later...NOTE: I don't leave it in the car, anymore!!  ;-)
