Miss Beverly can tear one of those boogers up! Lol. That sycamore mandolin sounds good Mr. Jerry. I enjoy these setup (and repair) videos so much. Cant wait to see you get ahold of that Gibson gitfiddle and the mandolin especially. I learn so much from your repairs. Such valuable free knowledge you give us aspiring Luthiers and/or Techs. Thanks again Buddy!
Seagull is a Canadian brand, acoustic side of Godin guitars along with Norman guitars Simon and Patrick and La Patrie. Seagulls go from entry to professional grade guitars, so looking at the name and declaring it a cheapie depends on the model and your wallet. They don't have big name recognition in 'Merica but do have an almost cult like following.
Jerry I was just going too tell you to wear gloves with that semi chrome polish, it can be toxic I broke out in wicked rash from it & learned my lesson. God Bless****
LOL! I've definitely been using the semi-chrome too long I know :P nice work on this. I have a couple customers sends me 2 or 3 instruments at once, one said when he got his foot in the door he was coming in all the way lol
Don’t know if anyone has suggested this, but think about putting a diffuser in front of that light. It MAY keep the reflection under control. Enjoy your vids and try to watch as many as I can.
Mike Curtin I think Jerry has been watching some of Chuckie 'Stretch' the welder's old videos. He was the first I encountered to use the "fabricobble" ... lets all work to make this word more well known, and more in common usage.👍. Use it someplace several times a week..
I think of Mr.Rosa as a type.of man who lost his wife a few years ago and after depression and thoughts of suicide, he was encouraged to go on and as long as he keeps himself busy repairing instruments, he doesn't go to that dark place. His son and wife steered him to TH-cam to give him purpose and help with his depression until his grandkids get out of school. He needs to repair continously until the children come home as they make him feel lived and give him purpose. He had no idea this TH-cam thing would kick off so popular and it keeps him busy. That's my assessment of Mr.Rosa.
There is a reason why they use wooden saddles in dobros Jerry. If you put bone saddles in the tone becomes too ´liquid´. There are two kinds of dobros "Hawaiian dobro" and "Bluegrass dobro". Liquid tone works fine in Hawaiian music, it gives the music that sweet, mellow beautiful tone but not so much for Bluegrass music. Bone ´liquefies´ the tone too much hence it looses it´s bark and bite, it´s ´growl´ tone which is needed for all of those ´pull off´s´ and ´hammer on´s´. I often hear Lester Flatt refer to the (Bluegrass) Dobro as ´the old hound dog´. A dog barks, bites and growls. www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=212172 Johnnie & Jack - "Poison Love" Shot Jackson on the Dobro: th-cam.com/video/Uunvhnj-qOU/w-d-xo.html Flatt And Scruggs "Dim Lights Thick Smoke" Josh Graves on the Dobro: th-cam.com/video/xMxIYq0Csqw/w-d-xo.html
Have you tried "turning a hook" on your razor blade, for scraping? It works great and eliminates chatter. I'm not assuming you haven't seen this but here it is at 0:46. th-cam.com/video/rTVScFJoe24/w-d-xo.html You can also use the back square corner of a knife, a pair of scissors or whatever hard steel is available.
Nice Job! But dumb question. Why did the cone have to be replaced? How do you know when it has to be replaced? Or was this an improvement or sound preference change?
Have you ever tried the aluminium cooking foil trick as a final polish for plated parts? It may only work on chrome plate, the shiny bits on Dobros are usually nickel plate. What you do is wad up a piece of aluminium foil, damp it water and then rub it over the plated surface. I haven't tried it yet myself. Probably best to try it out on something that doesn't matter first. Nickel plate is a pain, it goes dull very quickly and once it has developed a 'fogged' appearance you may never get a mirror shine back. What was wrong with the old cone? It looked fine in the video. Some people think that a maple saddle (sometimes with an ebony cap) is essential for proper Dobro tone. Deer antler or any kind of bone is definitely not traditional. They often do glue the two saddle pieces in. Most slide players don't seem to believe in intonation.
Very informative video. I am in the process of setting up a secondhand resonator guitar for my own use. I have found that the cone has been screwed to the body. I imagine this is not good for the sound? So should I remove these screws?
... a lot of sucking in this video... in a good way! Nothing like capillary action to make us all look good! That razor blade technique is really great. I learned to put the tape (with a hole in it for the patch) on the surface I am repairing. I think your method is better. Thanks.
Nice job on a nice sounding resonator . I’m sure the handmade deer antler bridges made a big contribution to the excellent tone. I really enjoyed the jam session demonstration, well played Beverly!
Sorry for bothering, but I have an old Fender Resonator Guitar, and as long as I remember the saddle on that darn thing always moved up and down when you play around on the strings. Is that normal, and if not, should I just glue the thing in? If I remember correctly it`s even split between the upper and lower sides, so technically 2 saddles, both moving...
In your note after examining the Tut Taylor dobro, you say it's a laminate guitar. However, when the cone is out, I see what looks like flame maple with a joint in the back on the inside - so that seems to imply a solid flame maple back, at least. What part is laminate? Sides? Top?
Yes part of the Godin group. I think the Simon & Patrick range are their entry level guitars. Mine is a Seagull S6 cedar top and a nice guitar, but with a slightly wider nut than normal.
I am and have been impressed by your repair work but on the case of finish repair I feel the need to ask have you ever used parafene oil, pumice and rotten stone to repair a finish? A very common way to repair fine furniture.
@@RosaStringWorks I only ask since I have no instrument building experience but do have some fine furniture repair experience. I wondered if those things would work on an instrument finish. Parafene oil is just used as a lubricant and carrier for the abrasives.
The saddle may have been glued in because they tend to move and change the string position. I added an old string pin to the middle hole between the two saddle pieces to keep them from moving closer to each other on my Resonator.
Another great video for sure Jerry you are a genius -- really! That Sam Bush model is a unique model in the Gibson line and favored by many including myself I have two of them. They are patterned after the 1937 Gibson mandolin that Sam Bush (of course!) plays. The key features are: wider nut (1 3/16"), radiused fret board (10 inch); cut off extension (Norman Blake supposedly did that to Sam's mandolin back in the late 1960s) and finally the 1930s Gibson head stock inlays. Very nice mandolins. You can tell the model year by looking at the serial number. The first and last digits are the year so for example if the serial number is: 41126060 you know it is a 2004 model -- that is 4XXXXXX0 stands for some time in '04. In addition, the information coded in the number would tell you that the mandolin was signed at the Gibson factory on November (11) 26th (26) of the year and finally that it was the sixth mandolin signed that day (06)! Now when you get to fixing the Sam Bush mandolin you can tell us how old it is!!! In summary the code is Year-month-month-day-day-number-number-year!
Another great video. It is always a treat to listen to you and your friends jamming, Thanks Jerry. I am wondering, does the cone go bad or was a higher quality cone installed?
I really enjoy all your videos and this was no exception. I have 2 dobro guitars that are set up to play fretted or with slide. I know that I always leave the cone and biscuit bridge loose enough to intonate/compensate the bridge angle for the harmonics on the 12th fret. One of mine has a pretty severe angle when corrected for proper intonation. (It's always a bit of a compromise) That might be worth knowing on the 'spider' type dobro as well even though it's not being fretted. The harmonics may still come into play and affect the slide positioning on the strings.
Good on ya! You called it straight. I’ve never had five arrive at the same time, unsolicited! One, on occasion, and I resent it every time! I appreciate the referral but, come on! - lets, at least talk on the phone first! Another great post from RSW! The Seagull is a Godin built guitar in Canada - very well made consumer grade guitars, but sub - $1000, maybe sub - $500 !
Delam on headstock: try lacquer in small syringe with tiny (27 gauge) needle to force the lacquer under there? Never tried it, just an idea. Get heparin syringe (they are 1cc with tiny needle on them)
Thank you Jerry,for another fine video presentation...Best wishes to you from here in Massachusetts. You inspired me to get back into playing my bottleneck blues. To satisfy my heart as well as my soul. It was amazing how fast my playing came back up in a very short time. I picked up a 1930s style small body parlor guitar thru a friend. As my old Yamahas truss rod froze up in dead storage....We got that guitar strings with mediums.And the parlor guitar with lights. I find I can play with a more delicate touch with the glass,slide and the brass and the socket wrench. As opposed to when I was a street singer. So that's all forward growth. And I call that good...!!! My hands don't hurt anymore. I must be living right. I think of you often and am in your circle of grateful viewers.Hope you are A- 1 feeling fine on your beautiful farm. My very best wishes to you Jerry, and yours always ,.Your friend Steve Tessier. Thank You...!
I have had good luck using linseed oil to re-adhere badly damaged finish, but I work on furniture. I don't know if it would be appropriate on a musical instrument.(finishes with 20% adhesion can be brought up to 70% or 80% with a little luck)
I wonder why it had Taylor written on the inside in big letters like that. Maybe the manufacturer built instruments for different labels or the backs were cut and shipped to Taylor and others? Curious.
My first look at a dobro and it's tuning. Always wondered how it was done. I think an open E, now I'm not sure. Anyway great video. Question? Does the Mrs. play instruments as well?
Awesome great video thanks for sharing. The guy has nice instruments. So sad that they were in the water. I will look forward to seeing you fix the mandolin. I truly hope you get it fixed. Jerry, I hope you have a blessed week.
Great work, Jerry. I'm sure you'll be getting more work, from that customer. Listening to the jam session, your mandolin sounds good and you certainly play it well (but) it doesn't even come close , to your new auction build and the jam was recorded indoors, with you closer to the mic. Time to build a new one, for your self. It, really, speaks to the softer wood (in this case sycamore) absorbing and deadening string vibrations.

It's business, plane and simple . We have to turn away work frequently . It's part and parcel to doing reputable work and being a small shop . Our customers either wait or hunt down a competitor if it's time constrained .

I can honestly say I believe it is the best coffee-table "guitar porn" you will ever see! The workmanship of the engravings is simply exquisite.
Dobro's do not have the biscuit style as Nationals do...they use the spider to set the bridge, whereas a National sets the bridge directly on the cone via the wood biscuit. You can still get spun cones, most are stamped though on low to mid priced instruments and the much higher price of a spun cone reflects that. Either style does dent very easily.
Wonderful work and I loved the jam. Happy Holidays.

Does the "spider" contact the cone? Metal to metal contact, or is there some wood on the underside of the spider? I thought there was supposed to be some kind of wooden " biscuit".....
PS, I always thought the cone was supposed to be somewhat thinner and more fragile, easy to dent if handled roughly. The original cones of the 1920s and 30s were soun on a lathe, but now most are probably stamped from sheet aluminum. Have you read Bob Brozmans' book on the history of National resophonic guitars? I can honestly say I believe it is the best coffee-table "guitar porn" you will ever see! The workmanship of the engravings is simply exquisite.
Dobro's do not have the biscuit style as Nationals do...they use the spider to set the bridge, whereas a National sets the bridge directly on the cone via the wood biscuit. You can still get spun cones, most are stamped though on low to mid priced instruments and the much higher price of a spun cone reflects that. Either style does dent very easily.
why don't you use an Ultrasonic Cleaner on the Dobro metal parts.
Mainly cuz I don't have one. And I don't think that would do much on making it shiny anyway.
That was an awesome jam! Thank you!

Did you mean to show the customers' contact full address, email address and phone number at 8.30?
He didnt but not that big of deal
"That's in the G of Key" hahaha
That guitar is weak in the volume category though....pretty to look at.
Sounded pretty darn loud to me
Naaaa....your mandolin was eating it up. Dobro can usually keep up with banjo on volume if its a good one.....you know that. hahaha

looks like a j50 gibson
how about dobro with low action?
Fine for bottlenecking, if it isn´t a squareneck.
