    It's not often that I see a good craftsman on RUclips (most of them are charlatans), well done Johnathon!

    Wondering how some Bach would sound with his technique.

    Is the glue used to fix the crack stronger than the wood meaning when using the clamps to close it, it will never crack again and hide the repair using French polishing.

    They forgot to say how much he charged for the repair? I'm guessing, about $1,500. It probably took him, at least, eight hours to do.

    Imagine playing with an orchestra in front of an audience when just minutes before your prize violin lay shattered on the floor. Utter shade of pale mixed with hollow eyes and gut wrenching quiver running up and down your spine while playing what seems to be a plastic fiddle compaired to yours. 😵

    The word virtuoso is never use to call a fiddler. Is for classical players only

      Says who

    • @endoalley680
      @endoalley680 6 лет назад +4

      Merriam Webster online dictionary - Definition of virtuoso
      plural virtuosos or virtuosi play \ˌvər-chü-ˈō-(ˌ)sē, -(ˌ)zē\
      1: one who excels in the technique of an art; especially : a highly skilled musical performer (as with computer generated hip hop dance music or dubstep rave scene music, or even on the violin, BUT NEVER A LOWLY FIDDLER!!!)
      2: an experimenter or investigator especially in the arts and sciences : savant
      3: one skilled in or having a taste for the fine arts
      4: a person who has great skill at some endeavor a computer virtuoso
      HMM, I can't argue with that. They have changed all the definitions lately so that millennials will show interest in the language.

    Difficult to follow, not chronological, with come -backs and cut phases. And in the end, you don't not seem satisfied at all, but you do not say why, and I am not a specialist to guess. And the video stops there ! Do you mean that what you did is not so good, but good enough for the owner not worth any more work from you ?
    Some details upon the "presses" you use to narrow and glue the long crack would have been very interesting. why use these and not the long side-to-side presses as usual, I can think that they would curve the back and not only press the crack ? Explain, explain, explain...

      He is using a mold, more precise than just clamps. Maybe you can learn by searching for "violin repair mold"

      And the word Virtuoso shouldn't refer to folk music players either

      Folk musicians are not virtuosos!They are comparable to gypsy violinists of Europe who can't read a libretto but play excellent violin all the same and take care of their violin like a child!.Tennesee fiddlers do the same but saw the fiddle and there it goes for restoration!.A 300$ chinese fiddle will do for their playing and can be junked like the automobile after every season(year)!.
