    Just for clarification, obviously the opening scene is a reenactment. This guitar was found many years before by a customer on the side of the exact street in the opening scene and has been in storage till the restoration of this video. Hope you enjoyed!

      This guitar is a 20th century instrument I believe. The design is meant to evoke a different era, but based on its size and construction, it is not from the 1700's

      Modern guitar is indeed a late invention, but not the word. A guitar in the 18th century would have been a cittern (a type of lute), with typically 10 strings tuned to C E GG cc ee gg.

      Would be great if you changed the title to the accurate date as described below by @twoodfrd. Feels very click-baity, and as many users note, one look at the guitar makes it easy to dismiss it as an 18th-century model.

    A German Wandervogel guitar from 1900- 1930. A lot of them were lute-shaped, trying to evoke historical sentiment.

      @PaisleyPatchouli 2 года назад +60

      My thoughts exactly. 18th century? NO WAY... A bit of clickbait, or at least someone who doesn't know historical nomenclature works. With its metal frets, geared tuners, and oak-leaf rosette design it's early 20th century in my opinion.

      @tessjuel 2 года назад +23

      Yes, it's certainly not 18th century and I think even 1900 is a bit too early. They did have guitars with slotted heads and geared tuners back then but they were quite rare. How about mid 1920s and onwards?
      But did you look closely at the tuners at 11:39? A prewar German guitar would almost certainly have had D.R.G.M tuners with small round buttons. They may be later replacements of course but similar guitars were made in other central European countries too, Czhechoslovakia and Austria in particular, and in the East Block countries they kept making guitars in this style well after ww ii. Thre frets at 6:07 seem also seem to be a little bit on the heavy side for a pre-war German although it's not totally out of style and again, they may be later replacements.
      Btw, those lute-shaped guitars were more than sentimental nostalgia. The Germans never stopped making them so they are part of an unbroken tradition going all the way back to medieval times.

    Yeah! So I want to see a well working restorer bring things to its best again! Thank you! Just right before I had to watch one who did it so bad! I couldn't watch it to end. I once restored an old lute guitar which was made in 1903 to 1905. I took bone glue I cooked on my own and I but a long rope to bring the pieces together. Within a month it became my favorite instrument for all the years arthrosis let me play it. Some times I do it for some 20 minutes but then pain stops me for about up to 6 weeks.
    So finally I bought a keyboard I now learn to play - it's music I need and I try to get different tones. I once played a recorder, an ocarina, an alt-saxophone, some drums, from an irish drum to an african voice-drum, over bagpipes and pipes without, a shawm (shalm, Schalmei in German), a ukulele, guitarlele, electric cuitar, my concert guitar as lead guitar, played by me , using notes, not just accords, was my favorite instrument ever. I couldn't sell it, hope my son will use it later on. Sometimes for some days he lents it from me to „have some notes“ as he says. I listen to his melodies: he's got a perfect pitch. Really. My lute guitar is fine now and although you can see its age you say its an old lady. I love it. It took about 6 months to read all books about restoring a guitar. Then I phoned to a restorator and talked about bone glue. He was delighted.
    I filmed my restoration and let him watch. I sadly delated after. I was a clown to do so! I know. But the old lady sings in my arms finally. All the best. Be blessed! Ilove music! Thanks for your video!❤

    Warming the glue helps. Have plenty of wet and dry rags ready to clean all the excess, and gently clamp across. Thanks for sharing the video and cheers from Vancouver.

    I have seen countless instrument restorations on RUclips, and they are either some luthier/repairman who decided to (unskillfully) video his (skillful) work, or some clickbaity channel erasing the history and charm of gorgeous old instruments. This video was neither; the work itself was skillful and respectful of the instrument's past, and the video was well-produced, complete with corny intro. I could go on forever about this, but I am lazy and you probably don't want to read my ramblings. Bravo, and please keep doing this. It gladdens my heart to see these old instruments brought back to life without erasing the life they had before.

I am a guitarist myself, and I can always appreciate an instrument being given the love and respect it deserves... Good choice on the nylon strings (Part of the tension problem that originally caused the cracks on the top IMHO) it will settle the vibration and sonority of the top in a couple of weeks. Let her take her own time. Great work, man! Cheers!

      You will shut up someone else's mouth. Yes, it was impossible to put metal strings on such a fragile old guitar, which have a stronger tension, unlike nylon. But no one has yet canceled the timbre of a musical instrument, as well as sustain. People value timbre and spend money, often a lot of money, to purchase a guitar with an excellent sound timbre, and the external effects and unsightliness in some ways of the instrument take a back seat. The sound, that is, the timbre, is valued.@@DougHinVA

    (How sad it was to see this beautiful instrument tossed-out as a piece of useless garbage; and yet, it was good to see it being rescued by someone who recognized its historical value.) This guitar already had an intricately beautiful design and quality to begin with. It just needed a breath of new life, and this careful restoration gave it a much-needed return to its former beauty and glory. As a result, it's now showcasing its wonderfully rebuilt body and great sound quality, and now definitely needs a new home belonging to a 'true' and faithful guitar enthusiast who will give it the love, good use and proper care that it now deserves. It's a fine instrument with great sound, successfully restored as a treasure to behold to the right owner.

    Who cares if it is 100 or 300 years old. It is a beautiful work of art and craftsmanship. I would be excited beyond belief to discover one on the side of the road

    Seemed like there may have been a few steps missing in this restoration - an old instrument like this one could possibly have loose braces, loose bridge, broken or lost, additionally it appeared to need a nw saddle and it would not be unusual that it would need a neck reset to get the action to a playable height. There is no indication that any of these steps were part of the crack filling, cleaning and polishing. Not saying these areas weren't reviewed and found not to be in need of attention, but there is no indication that they were even considered???????

    This is not a restoration. Its polishing up a wall hanger.

    I noticed you put Nylon Strings on this Acoustic cause these old Acoustic Guitars from the 18th Century were Originally built for Gut Strings (nowadays it's Nylon) & if someone used Steel strings on it for super long, it would've collapsed. You might get away w/ using Thomastik KR116 strings. Some Guitars from that time had a Tailpiece which could allow you to use Steel strings cause the Tailpiece relieves tension from the Top.

    Thanks for making that old guitar sing again with all her six sisters in tune.

    For those of you who care, look up guitars by luthiers like Genaro Fabricatore and lambert if you want to see what guitars in the 18th century actually looked like. These are mid 19th century at the oldest

    Реставрация проведена не полностью. Колки следовало заменить или хотя бы смазать. По бокам верхняя крышка отклеивалась, там дырки. Заменить бы ещё верхний и нижний порожек, чтобы гитара не дребезжала. А старый лак следовало снять и перекрасить инструмент заново (слой лака, клея и краски влияет на звук)

    Okay. I have no guitar. I can't play guitar. Even I don't really care about guitars except for the sound of them (but I prefer the sound of bass guitar and electric guitar).
    So why did yt recommend this and why do I think about this video as a totally satisfying and entertaining content? 😲
    Nice work man!
    Thank you.

    Throwing it into trash is such a disrespect to a master who made it, and to music as well

    Did this guitar have a truss rod? If not, were any adjustments made to the action? Thanks.
