[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Very impressive repair, I love the double axis clamp, that solves a lot of time and problems on cross clamping and pressure.thanks for sharing. ECF

Thank you, and a happy new year

I am already very excited for the upcoming video! I play the cello and it's so interesting to see how you repair these instruments!

[@charlespflug8816]

Could you also show in a video how to clean the inside of a cello without opening it? my cello looks very dirty on the inside 😅

[@jer6162]

Awesome video. Wish you were able to produce more videos . Have a great weekend man.

Good to hear, thank you!

[@arteggers1]

Loved watching this repair!!!

[@maestrokimon]

Good to hear thank you!

Maestro, Thank you for your videos. They are very informative. I like your balanced attitude toward hide glue vs. wood glue. Many luthiers are very polarized on this and say All of one and Never the other. That is an attitude which makes No practical sense.

Good to hear, thank you!

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

What? not just Bondo? 🤣🤣 Just kidding, of course. That looks like quite a new Cello. Is it? Great video, thanks!

[@cmanasia]

hello

[@maestrokimon]

Hi!

[@altamiradorable]

A video just for that ?? I'm thinking of cancelling my Patreon support. The frequency of video posting is low and honestly, you've posted many similar repair. On top of that, this should have been a 3 minute max video, because there is nothing to show ! Revove cover, glue part, put cover back and that's it ! Not even playing the instrument !

[@zapa1pnt]

This is not an entertainment channel. Maetsro-Kimon is helping his viewers learn how to do these things. Maybe you should stick to Tik-Tok.

[@maestrokimon]

My dear friend. I really appreciate your support to my channel via Patreon and would be sad seeing you leave. I totally understand that you would like to see more videos, nevertheless I make them for free (or for your modest support) although they take a lot of time to make. That means that this channel is a side project of my normal work that takes most of my time. I also agree with you that there are some similar repairs but this is how life is. Every day, week, month is similar to the past for all of us. Furthermore, there are only so many repairs to do on an instrument. Finally the repairs that I show are repairs that I actually have to do on instruments, I'm not breaking them on purpose to make content, which means that I'm dependent of the supply by the clients. I hope you understand my position.
