Cracks at the back of esraj

[Indianmusiclover]

I bought an esraj from U.K and have it shipped to the U.S. During transit, there was a crack in the back of fret board and one on the back of the "gourd" part of the instrument. Any a luther be able to repair such cracks or any suggestions on experience Indian instrument repair? I am located in Arizona. Thanks.
