Hi Nate, thanks a lot for you interesting video. When using the original titebond wood glue, does that affect the vibration and sonority or do luthiers reject it just because it is difficult to disassemble a repair or part replacement is needed? Have a good day
Hi, well usually they say because it does not become brittle, then its not good for the instrument body itself...hence if the violin hits the music stand, the brittle glue gives way instead of the wood cracking. But I opened up a violin that I made, after three years, and its is identical to hyde glue really. It just takes a long time to become brittle. Also if your setting a neck, the hot animal glue kind of shrinks and sucks the joint together better.

In terms of sonority, does the titebond affect it? Why do guitar makers use it without any hesitation?
@@ositoCastroits strong, easy to use and there's more time to clamp the joint before it sets...at least a couple of minutes.
