[@LostMountainRestoration]

Absolutely outstanding!! Thanks for the nice, steady close ups of the work. Again, thanks for what you all do saving these beautiful instruments!!

[@Jackofallthetrades]

THANK YOU, for better filming techniques as compared to other luthier videos :) Your videos are such a pleasure to watch, and SO educational!

[@Jackofallthetrades]

Thank you for ridding us of the guy who starts off his complaint with "Not a luthier..." That pretty much says it all.

[@vance7274]

Such beautiful hands at work!

[@sting1111]

Joana is my favorite and great film work this time!

[@duanedouglas7602]

Very nicely done

Um grande trabalho de restauração para colocar um espelho pintado é pra chorar de desgosto...

[@johnbrock1602]

Very good like to see how it is done

[@henrypagan6657]

Wow your amazing

[@MCGR]

ive been thinking about one day buying the worst condition, cheapest violin I can find, and restoring it. ive restored a few things and this is on my list of things to restore

[@balin71]

What did you use to clean the top? It certainly worked.

[@kiourhimo3238]

Proud of you! U are doing perfect job!

[@ositoCastro]

Hello, what product did you done for staining the fingerboard? Thanks a lot

[@carloantoniomartinelli5418]

Hey people, dies any of you EVER sharpen his FUCKING tools ?

[@Adrian_AdamViolonDiGerma-tm3nq]

I have a big question. Will French Polishes/Shellac retouch Varnish Will works over an oil varnished violin? If it doesn't, how do you Polish/retouches an oil varnished violin? What's the difference between an oil varnished violin and a spirit varnished violin?

[@joemoore7299]

Around 8:25, what are you using to clean it with?

[@SamirAzarLuthier]

good job. just clamping the wedge should not be applied directly on it. thank you for sharing.

[@stephanjankowski2404]

Beautiful work ! What are you using to clean the violin/finish ?

[@jerrydavis1475]

May I know the reason you are putting a wedge under the fingerboard instead resetting the neck angle

[@OG-D2000]

How did I go from 2 set violin to this

[@arielafina]

Lmao I did the same.

[@kennielsen8554]

Get off youtube , you need to be practising

[@OG-D2000]

@@kennielsen8554 nah man I quit orchestra and became a pro runner in high school so

[@tommix3031]

What was the cleaning agent used at about 9:00? It appears to have done a very nice job.

[@sametaltan2780]

thinner I think

[@otto15232]

What kind of glue did you use for the corner?

[@davidkiholm4368]

Question. Why do you choose to raise the height of the neck and finger board with a raised shim instead of making a thicker fingerboard to correct the angle. Was the neck sunk or warped? Or is it just old, and bad angle or fingerboard to begin with.

[@Hisham_HMA]

the whole time im wondering how you do such hard work with your hands and they look beautiful ?

[@marklozano8388]

what are rubbing down that violin with? alcohol?

[@MCGR]

I think its oil, its making it shine better so that's what I would assume

[@glendonjones]

Its probably alcohol. That's what is usually used for deep cleaning a violin. It dissolves built up rosin and renews the surface of the varnish. It should be done only by an expert though because it can also remove the varnish itself. Don't ask how I know.

[@andyrenshaw9148]

@@glendonjones most likely clean water, thats enough to get most gunge off. Alcohol would just strip the varnish off in a second.

Please tell me what glue mixture to use? thanks

Pegamento de hueso

[@huseyinnas7807]

Die repariertes Zargen Ecke ist leider nicht identisch mit Original-parallel Zargen Ecken, ein bisschen zu viel abgeschliffen.... trotzdem danke für die Aufnahme....

[@user-jh4gr1pq1w]

5:44 Is that really necesary? The wood already has grooves in it and the glue sticks well enough

[@danielgulseren9783]

The second Sticker is from an Luthier from Bavaria Germany, repairsman i think

[@jppmghrs]

Finally, someone who uses hide glue.

[@Shoshun2]

I don't know why you say "finally" as every violin maker/restorer, if they are any good at all, uses it.

[@gary24752]

Are you using an alcohol stain? It would have been nice if you had described what you are doing.

[@raymondcote6669]

Where is the audio?????? Instructions???

[@raytaylor372]

Not sure I understood the work done on the scroll, it didn't look in all that bad a condition.

[@johan3276]

Lol my hide glue does not dry so fast like yours!

[@old-violin-international]

Its a violin by Francois Contal, containg a repair-label by Ludwig Koerner in Ansbach. see detailed XXL pics: www.old-violin.com/images/a_154.jpg

[@myoppayoongi8882]

@TwoSetViolin

[@lgyqchen5074]

First, the corner is not well and correctly shaped. Second, never insert a wood piece between ring board and neck. This is ugly. Should a standard way to it. Third, the fingerboard might be tilted if it is glued in the way shown in this video. Overall this repair is not professional. It is bad.

[@juliodiaz4404]

Seems German to me…

[@mkdijkstra4855]

Looks more German to me seeing it's label

[@old-violin-international]

It's a repair label from a German luthier. Above the label is the original brand stamp from Francois Contal / Mirecourt

[@mkdijkstra4855]

@@old-violin-international did not noticed that on a small phone screen.
