Restoration
BEFORE ~ AFTER
I took of the table and a part of the fingerboard.
.1.- The 3 harmonic bars were -all- lose at the end
(ever tried to glue these bars from outside?? wish you a lot of succes!!)
2.- The table was lose almost all around the outline of the body.
At some points I couldn't put them on the right place again because the harmonic bars were lose at the end.
View of the innerside and outside of the table.
After reglueing the table I reglued the fingerboard again.
Original bridge was missing. Materials: ebony and ivory on top.
Completely copied from a L.Embergher 1925 mod.5-bis from the collection of Ralf Leenen.
