A week's really hard job in the room gave results. Farre brought with him a finished Old Gura in the form of a Levin from 1906. The Levine sounds very good, both Farre and I think 🙂
The old European lady from around 1900 with violin screws is almost finished as well, the upper saddle and stable legs and a little fix on it remain. It is special with the fingerboard in three pieces, a new whole fingerboard in ebony with a cut-out along the bottom for the original with inlays (which was in spruce!). In addition, a wedge at the lid so as not to get a "slope off". The stable also got new wood, a plate in rosewood underneath to raise the stable and a couple of pieces of ebony to extend the front of an oblique stable leg. The wood tuning screws were replaced with PegHed screws with hidden mechanics.
Has become a small tradition to have an apprentice in the room a summer week. Anyone who feels the urge to book a week next summer can hear from them 🙂
floral motif in mother of pearl on the fretboard is similar to my German Carl Friedrich Bauer guitar. Wasn't there an iron mark inside the neck block? “CF BAUER”
No, it's completely unmarked unfortunately.
