Restoration
Before starting the restoration, all measurements of the instruments are taken and the necessary analysis is made. This analysis instrument can be used in the best possible way by preparing a plan chart without damaging its originality. While each process is photographed, the owner of the instrument sees it all transparently, thus restoration is documented.
Bass bar replacement and curb restorations
It is one of the most common problems in these processes. The new bass bar gives resistance to the top table, which has become tired over time, with pressure, and we obtain a good sound by providing a new top table tuning. The border thicknesses, which have become thinner over time, are restored to their old thickness with new spruce wood, and such a table fits the sides on a flat surface. is provided.
Top table soundpost cracks (Before)
This type of cracks, which are frequently encountered, are quite complex. The proper adhesion of the crack and the subsequent touch-up polish stage should be the same as the main color of the instrument.
Top plate soundpost cracks (Later)
Here you can see the soundpost crack after the restoration. We can see the crack in a natural way as it has been adhered and retouched.
Lower ,upper or corner block replacement
It is necessary to renew these blocks due to the deformation that occurs frequently, especially in old and antique instruments.
Instrument Maintenance
This process is vital for your instruments. We generally recommend it to be done every six months, depending on the frequency of playing.
What we do at this stage:
instrument all mathematical measurements are made without removing the strings.
. Strings heights are checked. Here, if the existing bridge is deformed or does not provide the required wire height We recommend replacing it with the best bridges "Aubert de lux" or "Despiau three trees".
. If the touch is rectified and the curve is not smooth It is adjusted according to the 42 mm diameter section and becomes perfect by being fed with oil.
. The nut and saddle are checked and their heights are adjusted, the strings slots are made smooth and the correct string height is ensured.
. The pegs are checked and necessary cosmetic interventions are made to ensure that they work properly.
. The instrument is completely cleaned with our own special cream.
. If necessary, the damaged polish is covered with retouch varnish and finalized with colorless protection varnish.
. The table clearance is checked and glued if necessary.
. As a finale, full tuning is done, preferably by inserting new strings, and a sound check is also performed. If necessary, the soundpost position is changed or a new "soundpost "is made.
