Restoration of an old German harmonica

Hello my dear friend
This is my new video about the restoration of an old German harmonica. The accordion lay underground for a long time, starting from World War II, and was excavated in Russia on the outskirts of Volgograd (Stalingrad).
I started the restoration by making a new body; A milling machine was used for this.I took the tab boards apart and sandblasted them to remove years of grime. Covers cannot be restored; they had to be made again.
I hope you enjoy this restoration, don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel
Thank you for watching.

Only just now realizing I haven't known how a harmonica works my entire life. Even after this video, I'm still a little fuzzy on the details.

[@georgebrown8312]

Amazing restoration job you did on the old harmonica. It is hard to imagine how much skill and patience you put into repairing a musical instrument such as this. It looks much better and it sounds much better as well. Excellent work.

[@PSVRestoration]

Thanks a lot

[@HmarMCtronca]

These videos are incredible. I can't imagine how much knowledge, preparation and hours it takes to make them. Even more so to repair an instrument, something that requires so much precision.

Wonderful restoration 😂🎉😊

Thanks

[@jjryan1352]

There's an issue with the front of the cover plates not being flush with the front of the comb. There's a gap. Makes it very uncomfortable to play, and air going over the reeds could make it sound out of tune.
That, and he's not actually playing the harp at the end. It's dubbed. Some of those reeds were put back in at an angle, which means they wouldn't be sounding.

[@RetroVideoGamer23]

Great job, really really great job

[@PSVRestoration]

Thanks

¿Es esto una Restauración o un Reemplazo de la armónica?.... Típico ejemplo de la llamada "Paradoja del barco de Teseo"...

Theseus' harmonica.

Restaurada harmônica (gaita)

[@frankstrawnation]

No Brasil chamamos esse instrumento de gaita. E em Portugal, esse instrumento tem o mesmo nome ou é chamado de harmônica?

[@SmaugAltair]

Yes, it's good work. What is that wood you used for the harmonica?It looks like mahogany.

[@MrSwott]

Отличная работа, но это не реставрация, а изготовление с нуля. Родных деталей почти не осталось.

[@PSVRestoration]

Восстановил что смог, остальные детали были настолько сильно испорчены

[@adelineouvreloeil4464]

That's not a restoration. It's a total rebuild.

[@maurozacchia8973]

Ma se non hai numerato i listelli vibranti (note) come hai fatto a rimertterli ai loro posti 😱

[@laurafolli8284]

When the objectives are so damaged I not agreed about the restauration....

[@user-ul3ew4qe2n]

This is called making a new copy..☝. rather than calling it restoration or restoration 😁🚬

[@alialdemir3458]

Restorasyon değil, teknoloji yardımıyla kopyaladın...

Fake!

[@jakesmerth1919]

90% new material is not a restoration.

[@vincestar4840]

Ship of Theseus.

[@paulsheffield888]

I agree 100% this isn't a restoration at all. It's a replacement. What a waste of history

[@JerrySpann-fn4kw]

He didn't dig it out of a sewer shit pile.
