Got a hard package delivered the day before Christmas Eve. A customer had announced that I would be looking for a heavy package… Bursted up and saw something that looked like a Levin parlor head. When I got the whole box up I got a shock! One of the oldest existing Levin instruments, in addition to Levin's famous patent with a…
One of the repairs was a Levin from 1950. The neck was the track. When I heated to straighten the shrunken board, I had to replace it with a new one. Glued and planed down the high stable and milled in a new stable leg. I have never encountered the husband of oblique stable placement. The stable is located TWO CM…

It is noticeable that the builder knew his stuff! …
One of the three I got ready in the batch is a USA made pearl bought on American eBay a few years ago. It has collected dust, but I grabbed it before our americana gig recently. Thought it would fit. My Levin from 1913 is starting to lose some of its luster as well, has made progress…
