- I had a great deal of joy restoring this old violin. It sat in my customer's attic for over 50 years, and now her talented daughter enjoys playing it very much.
This violin has a beautiful mature sound with rich and dark overtones. With proper care, it will continue to charm it's listeners for another 200 years :)
Great work! can't believe how good it turned out!
Nicely done. I also repair violins, so this was extra great to watch.
Fantastic 👌🏻 What would we violinists do without that craftsmanship...
Amazing restored work
Thank you... Many more stringed instruments were brought back to life since this video was made :)
Thanks a lot! Even though i know i will not be able to fix my violin the same way you do, now i know how to mend it in my own and simple way. Your violin is beautiful even after you fixed it, it looked brand new again! Now i know that we shouldn’t just think on how to fix our broken instruments, we should know how to properly take of it.
Thank you - I was looking at how to restore some old wooden furniture with some very delicate sides and this video helped me immensely! Amazing restoration
Very good job putting that violin together. Here New York City 1:01am in the morning Wednesday March 13th looking at videos for ideas how to fix my violin, the peg box broke. I think I know now thanks to you.
That is amazing work
What an amazing song! I can only dream of playing such a piece someday!
Thank you! 🙏
What amazing workmanship!
Your videos are very inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work!
that chinrest is huge! Nice video thanks.
No need for a shoulder rest then. Ideal because shoulder rest can dampen the sound!
+Black Knight mmmm not as much as a chinrest but all relevant
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!
NIce repair!! Enjoyed watching.
fantastic jobs.
Great job! Bravo!
beautiful work!
Here in New York City thinking, how can I fix my violin with a cracked pegbox. I think I know how now thanks to this video.
Great video but it should have been a video video not a picture video but I still give it a thumbs up here in New York City learning how to repair a violin
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 good work
The first song is "Gavotte en Rondeau", and the second is "Geige". Both by J.S. Bach.
The price of pegbox repair is $150-200... I guarantee the lowest repair prices in So-Cal :)
Hello Wadefite and thanks for watching.
I would advise against using generic wood stains and varnishes. This could cause a chemical reaction and your violin varnish to bubble-up. Working with violin varnishes takes years to learn and a lifetime to master.
However, if you still want to experiment, pick up a cheep (well-used) student violin and try different things.
Best Regards
This man must practice 40hrs/day! Ling Ling quality work!
hi
i enjoyed watching and listening to this
ive just bought an old RW violin with a few scratches
im tempted to try to work in some wood stainer with a cloth
would this be a mistake?
ps i cant vist yr workshop as i live in scotland
I'm fixing a broken violin I got for $32. It's a Lignatone that is labeled Enrico Robella-Milano. The neck broke off.
I wonder what year it was made and where and the name of maker?No doubt this is time consuming work,requiring delicate and accurate skills....but if the timber it was made from has that inborn sound quality,it would have been a shame to abandon a fine old instrument.Nice,interesting video.Thank you!
+Noel Paech - It was made here in the US (Midwest). The owners great grandfather made it... He was a luthier.
Thanks for watching :)
+Ed Tumbas Thank you too for replying...you have brought an instrument back to life...so much joy and satisfaction for you and the family that it belonged to.
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🤝🤝
Who is the violinist playing the Bach?
What is the song that is playing in the video? And alsohow much would you estimate the cost of a peg box repair like that would be?
What glue did you use for the maple cleats? Was it hide glue you mix in the glue pot or was it the "Titebond liquid hide wood glue"? I have a violin that has a good crack with some of the wood missing all the way through the A string peghole, @1/8" gap. Would I try to fit some wood into the gap?
+Nick Fritz - The best thing is to have a luthier do the repairs. Repairing a pegbox is a very delicate process. If not repaired properly, a much greater damage could be caused to the instrument.
I always use the fresh hide glue from the pot... In this video I had the Titebond around for a different project that I was working on. Titebond does not have the necessary straight for this type of repair.
This just happened to my fiddle. I wish you were around here, I live Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. If only there was a way to send my fiddle to you....only if...
So sorry to hear about your fiddle. If you know anyone that's heading in my direction, feel free to contact me. I would be glad to help.
Thanks me buddy...I actually bought the fiddle in Alaska off Ebay....it is a beautiful sounding fiddle...it's stainer....I wasn't aware but we have professional Luthiers around here and i wasn't aware...I ended up heading over to a fiddle session at the pub in the next town over....there was 15 fiddlers and 4 piano players....one of them whats a luthier...I didn't have to but i showed him your work and he said you were good but he's 70 and he's better..he was joking...Im not sure if you no our style of music but heres one of our greats that left us a month ago give him a listen and Slàinte mhor a h-uile là a chi 's nach fhaic .... a lot like Scottish and Irish ( Mix between, and still speak gaelic, Yah in Canada ) anyways enjoy
I'm glad that you found a good luthier in your area :) Keep up the good work, and never stop playing.
+Alexander MacDonald You must be referring to David Papazian he repaired my antique violin made by Thomas Mitchell. He did a fine job.
great video Ed, thanks! Does that chin rest say Sevcick on the back??
Thanks Mike.
Yes, it is a Sevcik.
Cool. Never seen one before. Use his books daily:)
Was it one of Otto Meyer's chin rests maybe? Just wondering how Ottokar's name was stamped on the back...
Mike Mitchell No, it's Otakar Sevcik's design. While on staff at Prague Conservatory, he came up with this design to increase comfort and reduce neck fatigue. With his influence it wasn't too difficult to find a manufacturer willing to mass produce them.
This was a big step in pre-shoulder rest era.
My broom fell n myrna and one of the strings got loose and the scroll popped off how do I fix it I'm nly 10 XD
Can you please tell me what kind of polish did you use? Thanks.
Polish was Glaesel.
By the way, some luthiers use an olive oil with powder, but I have no idea what powder was it. Maybe you know. Perhaps, you know other ways of polishing a violin. Thanks
I need the music!!!!!!!pls °^°
Bach - Gavotte en rondeau, Bach - Gigue
Always thumbs down to a slideshow on a video medium. Meaningless!
