Poor Mandolin - Restoration

[@sebastianstrocchia9045]

I am a luthier, someone who studies, makes and repairs musical instruments and I want to point out several things. very important, I am not saying that this restoration is bad, believe me when I say that much worse things have been done to "restored instruments" but I want to leave these comments in case anyone wonders how it could be done if they want to give it a try. Anyone who wants to learn this beautiful trade is always welcome, but you should know what is right and wrong when repairing an instrument. 1st - i do not recommend use of paint remover to remove the lacquer on an instrument, the wood would expand and then when it dries it will shrink and crack, it is better to use sandpaper of different grits. 2nd - I do not recommend sanding the harmonic top, backs and sides without checking that the thickness is equal throughout the length of the piece to be sanded, as this can create variations in the way the resonance box or body vibrates, removing important harmonics and sound volume to the instrument. it is recommended to always use a thickness gauge. 3rd - Always use hide glue or wood glue to glue musical instruments, as these types of glue crystallize instead of sticking which gives it more vibration and allows it to melt with water or heat in case the instrument needs to be opened to repair it. It is not recommended to use rubber adhesive or similar, also i do not recommend using super glue to glue the resonance box or body. 4th - Hardwoods and a bone nut are recommended for the bridge to enhance resonance. do not glue the bridge to the harmonic top as it must be moved for adjustment when calibrating and tuning the instrument. 5th - The missing fret that was replaced should be adjusted to be at the same level as the rest to avoid hum and cause the instrument to fret or sound bad All this that I am mentioning is something that is studied to be able to repair the instrument correctly if it is to be used later as a suitable musical instrument. if the end is only decorative it seems to me a decent repair and restoration and I congratulate you for at least trying it with acceptable results for decorative effects. Please don't hate this restoration, I've seen worse, be polite. Follow my advice if you want to try. In any case, I recommend anyone to go to a luthier if they want to repair an instrument and are not sure what they are doing.

Piss off Mr. Expert. This is a restoration, and perhaps then a renovation by an "expert" like you? Geeze, get a grip , Dude!! LOL!!

[@Jerkass_Homer]

Cant forget that he installed the tuners the wrong way as well

[@ArthurSantos-jm6zo]

This instrument was butchered. Restoring an ancient instrument should preserve the original finish. A 100 year old will look one day old.

[@tomojr3674]

6th - Don't bash the hooks on the tailpiece in!! The instrument will need restringing in the future!

[@paulstrauch8109]

Another thing I would add is that you shouldn't bash in the hooks on the tailpiece where you hang the string loops, otherwise you won't be able to change the strings unless the hooks are bent back. But if you repeat this over and over again, it can happen that the hooks break off after a while.

[@joeblan9426]

Great Job! I was hoping for a little tune at the end, but I can't play either . Haha!

[@lourias]

Why did you tap the end down that secure the loops? Now, if a string breaks, the user is going to have to pry that back up, causing hardening of the metal, fatiguing the metal. If you do that again, I will have to reach out and smack your hands! I am amazed that you got the children's writings off the wood!

[@jasperwylde8612]

Points for effort and I accept you're not a musician but Glueing the bridge before you checked the intonation? Oh dear! Mando bridges dont need to glued because the string are anchored at the tail peice ( nails? really?) a free bridge would have allowed for upgrading to a better more resonant material and fine tuning. Hammering the string hooks closed wasnt needed either what about when the strings need changing? Prying them open could cause them to weaken and break The 'Brass bar' is called a fret BTW

[@Restomaniac]

[@suetologsuetolog6733]

[@itsayesfromme2669]

You were doing so well up until you glued on the bridge and then hammered closed the hoop end of the strings.

[@Restomaniac]

Thanks, don't be afraid to hammer.

[@Bender13]

Yes. The bridge should float so you can intonate the tone when tuning.

[@therealzilch]

@@Restomaniac If you are never going to change the strings, go ahead and hammer. Also, the bridge is quite a bit too high- the instrument will be very hard to play in higher positions. But for a hang-on-the-wall instrument, it's very nicely done.

[@robertshorthill4153]

@@Restomaniac The gun stock oil called True Oil, I think would have been a better finish than olive oil. It looks nice and is more durable. Also, not a good idea to glue that bridge to the top. If the intonation is off, it won't play. Maybe you just want it to look nice and never be played, I don't know, but a bridge should never be glued to a top sound board. Downward pressure from the strings will hold it in place once the intonation is correct. This poor old mando gal has seen much better days. It might have had a decent sound at one time. Some Venician gondolier might have played it for lovers on a boat ride. I can see it and hear it in my mind. Maybe it got wet and the glue gave out. The paint was a puke color to begin with. But never use olive oil. It will smell bad once it goes rancid. Thanks for the effort, tho.

[@bahgheera]

Those parts made my left eye close a little bit

[@cfcasey.guitars-ukuleles]

As a luthier of some 40 years experience, I feel the need to comment on several aspects of this restoration. First, the bridge on an instrument of this type should never be glued down. It’s designed to be held in place by string pressure and should be free to be moved to make fine adjustments to intonation. Hammering down the prongs on the tailpiece will eventually weaken the metal; after two or three string changes they will probably break. And olive oil is not the best choice for a finish; it takes a very long time to polymerize and harden. That being said, it’s nice to see an old-timer like this revived!

[@nuttysquirrel8574]

I'm glad I read your comment before sitting through 20mins to find it didn't play. I now shan't bother to find out what the point was if one isn't going to make it playable again. Hey-ho!

[@rustyaxelrod]

As a musician and hobby luthier I have to say I agree with the others on the bridge, tuners, tail piece etc. but good job getting that ink pen off there! That was surprising. Good work on the headstock repair also, that would have scared off a few “pros”. Getting the back on and properly aligned was good work as well. Enjoyed the video. 👍 P.s. the plastic for the pickguard is available online and not terribly expensive. Regardless of what this instrument is to be used for, it would look nicer with a pickguard.

[@Rev-D1963]

As others have commented, the bridge should have been left floating, the string hooks open, screws in the tailpiece instead of nails, etc.. One other thing I would have done, was to find ferrules for the tuning pegs (prevents damage to the head). All in all a beautiful job on the restoration otherwise. Thank you for sharing it with us! God bless. Rev. D.

[@telodigotodo]

You are obviously a great restaurateur but you don't know about instruments. the bridge should not be glued, in doing so maybe you messed up the tuning, the prongs of the tailpiece should not be hammered to allow changing the strings when they break. Take care about the cutter you it the mandolin on 15:57 XD

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

There's just a lot that's not right on this restore, but it is what most people fixing something wooden would attempt. Not a terrible job, but musical instruments should be restored by a luthier. A TRAINED luthier.

[@layne182]

That huge fret installed had me wincing. It could make a nice decorative piece but I wouldn't trust this as a playable instrument.

[@jcrefasi1]

I'm guessing the value of this piece was seen as decorative and refinished for that purpose. Other wise I'm confident if it had been an expensive piece he would have done more research on restoration before working on it

[@michaelhall226]

Perspective Greg - No trained Luthier would have considered this instrument in its poor condition a valuable use of their time vs other instruments they could be making or restoring. As a KZbin video it has good produciton values and as COVID relief its excellent. Good job Restomaniac. (But please - light on the hammer)

[@athousandwordsbluemountain2018]

Really? Are there laws about these things? Are only luthiers permitted to restore mandolins? Stop being such a pompous nob.

[@schneibgamer1]

@@athousandwordsbluemountain2018 well actually yeah, you do need to know what you're doing cause his "restoration" resulted in a poorly functioning instrument.

[@KENTEMPARRIS]

Just a suggestion. Maybe ask a few things about how an instrument works. We NEVER glue down the bridge. You could have bought a fret wire for the "brass thing" that was missing, olive oil is never good for instruments cause it's heavy and does not absorb well and you screwed the tuning pegs upside down. Also on top of the bridge there should be a harder material, we use bone, brass, graphite or even plastic and that part is the one you file with the gauges suitable for every string. Hammering the tailpiece is useless because the tension of the strings will rip it apart soon and also you NEVER hammer down the prongs because they will break after a while and also it would be a really difficult task to take old strings out with the rust buildup on the string. And we don't use superglue on instruments.

[@milanfanas]

Seeing how you were dealing with string makes it clear that you are not an expert of musical instruments. But you've done a pretty good job.

[@scaira60]

I will not bash you on your efforts, you did an overall good job restoring that old mandolin, Iam sure other will tell you what was done wrong. But I appreciate you posting this, Thank you & God Bless🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🎸🎼🎹👨🏻‍🦯👨🏻‍🦯

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much :)

[@CoolManMMusic]

This reminds me of when I went to an antique shop and found a beat up classical guitar and after buying it, I cleaned it up, removed the paint, removed all of the rust, and put new strings on. A guitar that hasn't been talken care of by the shop owners is now in very good hands.

[@raticide4you]

I restored just one mandolin but I agree with many others down here, that the bridge musn't be glued. Although this is already being said in many comments, I would like to add the reason why the bridge must be left floating. This is because the bridge must be placed there where the octave is perfect. Most of the time this leads to a bridge that isn't quite perpendicular, because of the difference in thickness of the strings. Instruments with glued bridges are very often untunable. Modern electric guitars have bridges that are modifiable for each individual string. That is impossible for such a mandolin, but one can come close to this ideal situation with a floating bridge.

[@brucejoseph8367]

interesting restoration, olive oil not a good choice, Shellac is much better it is fairly cheap goes on easily dries quickly, and looks amazing. The bridge should be of the floating type, they can be purchased cheaply enough to have made this a much better job. Still, it's back in one piece, reasonably playable condition and looks much better than before.

[@robgonzo]

I appreciate you cleaning and reusing the tuners even if I was surprised at first. Good job overall though! Aside from the other suggestions I'd say you should have replaced the missing kerfed lining before gluing the back on. That's the notched wood pieces that were glued to the edge of the sides. They should go all the way around and give a wider gluing surface. Looks like several sections had fallen out.

[@amezcuaist]

Some makers fitted complete strips of linings but others glued small blocks with big gaps between them.

[@andrewnicholson4689]

Don't want to criticise but! That was painful to watch. Think you should research and learn about this type of instrument, before you attempt again. There are alot of guys who watched this who are holding their heads in their hands.

[@deaddadd]

Ummmm, that's not the way to string it. Otherwise, a nice job.

[@TRHARTAmericanArtist]

Beautiful restoration, but what if you break a string...how do you replace it since you hammered them in?

That was great because you tried and did your best. Now you have more information from the experts who commented for next time.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your valuable comments :)

[@notwocdivad]

Unless the bridge is a very hard wood the strings will slowly compress the wood and keep going out of tune. Ideally should be made of bone or hard plastic. Plus Mr Casey's other comments are spot on. Nice job for a non luthier mind!

[@TwistedStrummer]

Grats on a passable restoration. I thought some of your techniques were inspired, and the mistakes you made have already been pointed out in other comments, so I'll skip that, with one exception. My eyes did go wide when you hammered down the prongs on the tailpiece. After going back to the beginning, I noticed that they were hammered down at the beginning (probably from taking too many trips to the floor). So, that was an easy assumption to make. My recommendation is to watch some of the other restoration/repair videos on youtube. Stew Mac and Twoford are a couple I would recommend, and there are many others. I don't believe the mandolin you repaired was particularly valuable, and was probably a great learning experience. With nothing to base this on other than the plastic tuner buttons, and what was left of the pickguard, I believe this mandolin may have been from around that late 50's early 60's era. I may be way off though. Anyone else want to chance a guess at year made or manufacturer?

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your valuable comments and time.

[@alext8828]

The tuning machines are on the wrong sides. Turning them clockwise should loosen the strings. How is this intonated now, with that bridge glued down and no adjustment on it? Didn't need to bend the tailpiece tangs. Need to unbend them to change the strings.

Everybody else has already said what you did wrong - but you took what amounted to a piece of scrap wood covered in ballpoint pen scribbles with half the tuners held on with baling wire and brought it up to a state where if someone with more experience building instruments wanted to get it into proper playable form, they probably could.

Teşekkür ederim Can Bey. Şimdilik mandolin düşünmüyorum. Ama [e-mail] adresine fotoğraflarını yollarsanız, göz atabilirim. Sevgiler.
