Thank you so much for a clean and clear video of this button repair. I have mid 19th century violin with a very similar problem. It is good to see how the repair can be performed. Excellent work IMHO!
Incantevole vedere come tu affetti il legno come io affetto la polenta. Sei spettacolare, Maestro. Per favore, fai un video sulle colle che usate voi liutai.
The saw you used with the black handle. What kind or brand is it? That was always what I hated anytime I had to repair a violin, cello, or guitar. The person before me used synthetic glue which was a pain to clean up. I love your repair posts. So much information that I need. Thank you so much.
I buy broken violins and restore them no matter what it takes. I repair them for fun. Luckily, I am retired and have 3 good pensions so money means little. I am having fun in my old age.
Maestro you are dealing with shoddy violins made about 1900s probably in factories very fast and they seem to be falling apart. The same will happen with all those chinese instruments being made now. Is it worth it to fix them?
Your approach is not totally correct. All the instruments, cheap ones or expensieve ones tend to have joints that get loos after several years. Most of the instruments that I repair in these series are between 50 and 100 years old and not all of theme are cheap. I have repaired a lot of expensieve instruments that haven't been used for long time and also needed a lot of gluing. This is the result of using hide glue, that dries out on the long term and looses it's bondig capabilities.
When I glued my neck back on, I knew nothing of this. Good video.
Love this repair series

Thank you Charles for your kind words!
Very helpful for me. I am restoring my great grandfather's violin and it has a broken neck. Your video is the best I have seen.
Good to hear. Good luck with your project.

What gum using
Great videos! Have you tried a heat gun to remove old dried out hide glue?
No and I don't know if that is a good idea. I'm afraid that the heat wil melt the varnish also. Have you ever doen it?

interesting how $50 instrument is repaired like $100.000 professional violin :)
Although the violin was worth more that $50,- I understand what you mean! Every violin deserves a good repair and treatment in my opinion!
A luther won't crack the ribs
As you can see at 0:13 the rib was already broken together with the neck. I didn't break it when removed the old block.

Sorry? Where?
