Fingerboards obviously are just rough cut, and require a final set and radius adjustments made prior to hide-gluing to the neck. Noticed you had reservations about how much effort to devote to this violin, with my only guess being its final worth after repairs. Hoping its intonation remains stable following all this work. Have a great day.
Try to remove the dirt and rosin built up on the varnish with some oil and rottenstone instead of sand paper. It works and doesn’t damage and fade the varnish
First! Nice video, maestro! I asked in one of your videos but don't remember if you answered: since white glue should be used to glue surfaces we do not want to see coming of, why not glue cracks with it? Thanks for the content!
This seems to be a 18th century German violin of good quality it's certainly not a cheap instrument, I don't appreciate the fact that you say its too much work, a violinist would expect the voilin to be fixed properly, I highly doubt we can get a seasoned 100 year old instrument made now, certainly deserved better repair I would probably send this to Olaf,

wow...different processes, with different tasks, with amazing tools!!!! It's wonderful craftmanship!
Wonderful video, Maestro! I audibly gasped when I saw the preview for the next repair series video. Looking forward to it!
Thank you Meghann! I'm used to see broken instruments but this is a rare one!
excellent work, Maestro. Congrats.
Thank you Marco!

Some times that's not enough unfortunately...

Thank you. Have you sen the Topic Video of December? There I speak extensively about the white glue.
@@maestrokimon thanks!!
Also, how did you do the fingerboard polishing? Only with steelwool and oil?
Fine sand paper (like 400 or 1000 grit) and linseed oil and steel wool.
Hi, Maestro The tool you are using for the peg hole, do you sell that, or do you know where I can buy it?
Did you superglue the nut?
God, I hope not!
@@nickiemcnichols5397 I'm sure he didn't. I see it though. Not good for the next guy.
Hi , is every Joseph Teller *** bridge with lower position of heart or is it special version of this bridge?
This is a spacial version, also not so easy to find. I have some for instruments with low projection.
@@maestrokimon where did you buy yours?
@@Pracownia_Lutnicza_Warszawa my supplier, tma-benelux.com but is only for Europe and only professional violin makers. Do you have a company?
@@maestrokimon yes, i have
If you are in Europe you can send them an e-mail to become a client.
I didn't see the other videos you said you had put up. Can you maybe put them up in the comments.
Cards don't show on mobile devices. I will put them in the comments.
How long did this repair take you?
Together with filming 2 days. If I was only working I could do it in two half days with overnight drying.
