X brace loose on old unlabeled guitar

A simple way to clamp a loose brace, if it is close enough to the sound hole to reach.
Guitar X brace done
Просмотров 1512 месяца назад
Unlabeled guitar needed the X brace glued under the bridge, and the corner of the bridge was loose too. The saddle was lowered, the nut reset, and new strings installed. A light French polish sealed the wood, which had the finish mostly removed. Looks good and sounds good!

Bird's Eye cello neck clamps removed
I have a 65’ Harmony Archtone. I too had it rehabbed (it had no hardware and was in pieces when I bought it off eBay for $20). My favorite guitar!
God bless the works of your hands today and forever...job well done thumbs up #4
what is the scale length?
Maybe you should change the name to, taking the clamps off and cleaning up!
Oh mon dieu mes oreilles saignent😂😂😂😂
The flame on the back of the 'old violin' is just stunning!
stinar ❤❤❤❤
Why do you think this is a Panormo?
Was this just in for repairs, or is it for sell? I'd love to to see the rest of the guitar at least, do you have a site that you post stuff on?
In for repairs. Here is the final result: ruclips.net/video/6XyBGOzzKSc/видео.html
That's awesome, the pickguard really completes the look. I wish I could hear more of it.
I congratulate you, you did a good job, congratulations
Thank you. Frog repairs can be tricky.
@@WhiteBrosMusic I completely agree, it is a very patient and delicate job. You achieved a good job, very professional. Congratulations.
I have a 1921 Robert A Dolling 4/4 Violin I just inherited from my Grandfather. It is in almost mint condition. What should I do with it, and what is it worth? It is 1-owner, and I even have the record of its purchase from the shop in Germany my Great Grandfather bought it at in 1922 after WW1!
Thank you for asking. The highest auction price I found was for a violin by R Dolling from the 1920's that sold for $1998 in 2005. The retail price could be higher, depending on the condition. Take it to a reputable shop and have them evaluate it, or you can ship it if there are none nearby. Sending good quality photos electronically also works for a start.
@@WhiteBrosMusic Thank you very much! This violin means a lot to me. My Great Grandfather was a fantastic musician, but he came down with(what we think was)Parkinsons in the early 50's, and was not able to play anymore. So the Violin has been put away for almost 70 years now(unstrung).. A few people have said it not being stringed and setup up could be really bad, but according the appraisal from 2007, by David Bonsey, the violin is in "excellent" condition, and was valued at between $1300-1800 in 2007. I really want to make sure I am protecting it properly in the years to come. It is a very special work of art.
@@JonHop1 If you were wanting to sell the instrument, you would want to have it strung and properly set up to show to prospective purchasers. A specialist violin shop with one or more properly trained and experienced violin makers could do this for you -- always deal with a bowed-string specialist shop, not most general-purpose guitar, band instrument, and keyboard emporium type of places (though a few such places do have qualified violin makers working for them in-house or otherwise). A violin shop might also sell the instrument for you on consignment, deducting a commission and the cost of any needed setup or repair. This would also be the place to go for an appraisal for insurance purposes. It seem that you or someone in your family has already dealt with David Bonsey for this; he is still in business and eminently qualified if it is convenient for you to take the instrument back to him. You might want to get your fiddle strung up even if you intend to keep it, unplayed for the time being, in the family. A shop will usually install strings for no charge beyond the cost of the strings (about $50 and up for the set of four, depending on the type of string, up to about a couple of hundred dollars; a low-end option will probably be just fine for you). If more setup or repair work is needed to get it into really fine playable condition, of course the expense will be greater; if it is still in "excellent" condition and doesn't need a new bridge or any cracks repaired or anything major, it won't be much. On the other hand, a lot of work would could mean a lot of hundreds of dollars. "One owner" doesn't really count for much (or indeed anything) in the violin world, but it's nice to have the original purchase records with the instrument. Among other things, they testify to its origin and authenticity.
Is it also possible to remove the pick guard and flip it (always thought the white E looked gay anyways) without damaging the guitar and finish?
It's possible, but not recommended. Better to just add another clear pick guard on the other side to maintain as much of the original as possible. Also, it is very difficult to remove the pick guard without damage, and if you flipped it over the E would be hidden. Hard to clean off the glue residue too, so usually once a pick guard is removed it's scrap.
Cool song. Sounds vaugley familiar. What's it called?
Freight train. Here's the original: ruclips.net/video/IUK8emiWabU/видео.html
How to get the herb alpert trumpet style?
Practice, practice, practice.
Sounds goose like lol
Tex-Mex..señor ..!😂😂😂
Not for mariachi bands...!!😂😂
That sure looks like the mahogany sister of the Washburn Model 5257 with Adirondack top. I don't know the model number of this one but it sure looks similar.
Where's the neck reset?
How much does something like this cost?
The usual cost is between $175 and $250 depending on if a new saddle is needed.
Too long.
You have no clue😂
NO... IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A TRUMPET !!!
Ok horn, monster player! 😊
A not very well thought out way of how to present this video from start to finish.
Despite acquiring a 1913 Eduard Reichert later on, that plays and sounds lovely, I find myself going to the 19th C German made (likely apprentice built as no name/label) violin more often. I bought that German one first in the early 1990s and it's just a great violin that (I have a Sydney Conservatorium degree in classical guitar) I learned on as a second instrument for me, classical guitar being my first. It only cost me 200 Australian dollars as well so it was an absolute bargain that, over thirty years later, I still use regularly. Now I actually find myself playing the violin more than I do the guitar though I teach both. I just love violins !!
Haven't got a clue what this guy is talking about!
Neither does he😅
Its called a bridge...😮
Great job! Thank you for sharing!
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.
Love the added sound effects ! Beautiful work. I got a cello from you a while back. Love it. old German probably.
Esistono ancora bocchini per flicorno soprano Benge?
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!
Now I want a lion head violin
It just so happens that we have another lion's head violin being restored in the shop that will be available soon. It is a much plainer model, with no edge treatments, but still a nice specimen. We can let you know when it is ready to go if you like.
I once read that Herb Alpert may have played a Benge in the 1960s.
Is this an expensive process for you to do if I need it done?
Thank you for asking. For a standard Rosewood bridge like the one in the video it would be around $120 to $150 and would take a few days.
I played in the Interlochen band with Walter back in 1975. He played well. He played a Bundy. He was a nice kid and quite reserved. Let the horn do his talking.
Walter white is a beast. One if the best players around.
Wow I cannot see the repair
Such an interesting violin. It would be fun to play.
I would not have thought that you could repair something like that without having the original material. This shows what a great craftsman you are! I also love your simulated filing noises 😄
fake Villaume
I don't see that we have learned anything much from this.
Why when people do these, do they never find any that sound radically different? I understand thst there's a "standard" as to what a violin should sound like, but my question is why? The 'sound' hasn't changed in centuries. I think that's pretty sad. Can someone please create 432hz instruments?
The reason they never find a violin that sounds radically different is because they are comparing violins to violins. You ask the question as to why there is a "standard" in violin sound, and the answer is really simple: because it aligns with what people want a violin to sound like. The sound ideal has changed throughout history and also varies a lot from genre to genre. Why do you want a violin to sound radically different, and in what way? Regarding your interest in instruments that play at A=432Hz, your best bet is to tune down. A violin is perfectly capable of handling that.
@@papselrawr Thank you. You're right. People have determined what sound they think it should be, or should produce. It's not that I want it radically different. It's just very difficult to choose in a comparison when so many of the elements are alike. Can anyone tell me if the minute fractions in the depth/thickness of the violin back arching and/or dipping makes much difference in the overall sound? Isn't that part of why luthiers are focused on scraping a little more here, and a little more there? I know, I'm a pain. Curiousity makes me wonder alot.
I believe they did. Those were the viols I think which predated modern violins, and Baroque era often were tuned slightly lower than 440.
Love the beautiful Rosewood on the back of the guitar & bringing New Life to this guitar is the ultimate goal !!! 👍👍 💯💯 😍😍
Hey Bill, This is Dave Stambaugh and I just started putting the finish on my third Mandolin build here in Tucson. I have built a mandolin that uses strings with an average tension of eleven and a half pounds. Easier to play than the ones that Orvil inadvertently made harder to play. All four courses intonate with in a few pennies at the twelfth fret!
I’m bought a very older parlor guitar from Germany… 1898, need a deep restoration, maybe in 3 months send the guitar to a good luthier in Spain, love this beauty pieces of history
I am trying to get some cash together for you to do some more work for me. Times be tight but I'll get there when I can.
That conversion one sounds so crisp
More of the parlor please!
❤❤❤
