Very carefully! Actually, the back was mostly off already from water damage and separated at the center joint. The one remaining brace was badly warped, so all the back braces were replaced after rejoining the back.
What tool did you used?? As i need to remove a back that has a crack in the middle but the 2 parts can be clued very good i think and then i have to glue the back on again, thanks for your reply!
I bought my old German cello from you guys many years ago. I just love it. It's nice to see these old instruments getting back to making music again!
interesting to watch. thanks for sharing good sir.

why do you need to scrape the top?
The top was quite rough, with chisel marks still visible. For the best tone, it should be smooth, with graduated thickness.
