Lash
repair usually consists of replacing the “eye” of the lash that
has broken off. I usually replace the point of the lash with a
“fall”. This is replaceable and takes the beating for the lash
point. It also increases the working length of the lash.
Occasionally the leather of the lash is too old to tie. On these
occasions the “fall” is sewn to the remaining point.
Cost
— Approximately $40

There
are two methods of attaching a cracker (popper) to the fall.
This depends on where the fall is broken. When the fall becomes
too short, a replacement can be fitted fairly easily.

— Approximately $20
