Just for clarification, obviously the opening scene is a reenactment. This guitar was found many years before by a customer on the side of the exact street in the opening scene and has been in storage till the restoration of this video. Hope you enjoyed!

This guitar is a 20th century instrument I believe. The design is meant to evoke a different era, but based on its size and construction, it is not from the 1700's

Modern guitar is indeed a late invention, but not the word. A guitar in the 18th century would have been a cittern (a type of lute), with typically 10 strings tuned to C E GG cc ee gg.

Would be great if you changed the title to the accurate date as described below by @twoodfrd. Feels very click-baity, and as many users note, one look at the guitar makes it easy to dismiss it as an 18th-century model.

A German Wandervogel guitar from 1900- 1930. A lot of them were lute-shaped, trying to evoke historical sentiment.

My thoughts exactly. 18th century? NO WAY... A bit of clickbait, or at least someone who doesn't know historical nomenclature works. With its metal frets, geared tuners, and oak-leaf rosette design it's early 20th century in my opinion.

Yes, it's certainly not 18th century and I think even 1900 is a bit too early. They did have guitars with slotted heads and geared tuners back then but they were quite rare. How about mid 1920s and onwards? But did you look closely at the tuners at 11:39? A prewar German guitar would almost certainly have had D.R.G.M tuners with small round buttons. They may be later replacements of course but similar guitars were made in other central European countries too, Czhechoslovakia and Austria in particular, and in the East Block countries they kept making guitars in this style well after ww ii. Thre frets at 6:07 seem also seem to be a little bit on the heavy side for a pre-war German although it's not totally out of style and again, they may be later replacements. Btw, those lute-shaped guitars were more than sentimental nostalgia. The Germans never stopped making them so they are part of an unbroken tradition going all the way back to medieval times.

Yeah! So I want to see a well working restorer bring things to its best again! Thank you! Just right before I had to watch one who did it so bad! I couldn't watch it to end. I once restored an old lute guitar which was made in 1903 to 1905. I took bone glue I cooked on my own and I but a long rope to bring the pieces together. Within a month it became my favorite instrument for all the years arthrosis let me play it. Some times I do it for some 20 minutes but then pain stops me for about up to 6 weeks. So finally I bought a keyboard I now learn to play - it's music I need and I try to get different tones. I once played a recorder, an ocarina, an alt-saxophone, some drums, from an irish drum to an african voice-drum, over bagpipes and pipes without, a shawm (shalm, Schalmei in German), a ukulele, guitarlele, electric cuitar, my concert guitar as lead guitar, played by me , using notes, not just accords, was my favorite instrument ever. I couldn't sell it, hope my son will use it later on. Sometimes for some days he lents it from me to „have some notes“ as he says. I listen to his melodies: he's got a perfect pitch. Really. My lute guitar is fine now and although you can see its age you say its an old lady. I love it. It took about 6 months to read all books about restoring a guitar. Then I phoned to a restorator and talked about bone glue. He was delighted. I filmed my restoration and let him watch. I sadly delated after. I was a clown to do so! I know. But the old lady sings in my arms finally. All the best. Be blessed! Ilove music! Thanks for your video!❤

Very nice job! The brass saddle isn't doing it any favours tho. I'll share a tip for addressing cracks 7:00 Put a generous bead of glue, then use a small suction cup, like you might find on a window ornament, to push it in. Warming the glue helps. Have plenty of wet and dry rags ready to clean all the excess, and gently clamp across. Thanks for sharing the video and cheers from Vancouver.

@user-oo2wf7cf6h 9 месяцев назад
You will shut up someone else's mouth. Yes, it was impossible to put metal strings on such a fragile old guitar, which have a stronger tension, unlike nylon. But no one has yet canceled the timbre of a musical instrument, as well as sustain. People value timbre and spend money, often a lot of money, to purchase a guitar with an excellent sound timbre, and the external effects and unsightliness in some ways of the instrument take a back seat. The sound, that is, the timbre, is valued.@@DougHinVA

I have seen countless instrument restorations on RU-vid, and they are either some luthier/repairman who decided to (unskillfully) video his (skillful) work, or some clickbaity channel erasing the history and charm of gorgeous old instruments. This video was neither; the work itself was skillful and respectful of the instrument's past, and the video was well-produced, complete with corny intro. I could go on forever about this, but I am lazy and you probably don't want to read my ramblings. Bravo, and please keep doing this. It gladdens my heart to see these old instruments brought back to life without erasing the life they had before.

Letting aside the great work, kudos for your work on the sharpness of your tools... (I especially love the puukko, by the way)... I am a guitarist myself, and I can always appreciate an instrument being given the love and respect it deserves... Good choice on the nylon strings (Part of the tension problem that originally caused the cracks on the top IMHO) it will settle the vibration and sonority of the top in a couple of weeks. Let her take her own time. Great work, man! Cheers!

Many commenters should have read the first comment by the video creator: this was a reenactment. So they had to use another sad old guitar to reenact the repair. They were not trying to deceive us. I enjoyed the video, because it reminds me of the good feeling I've gotten when doing repairs on some old folk instruments, that I've given it new life in a way. It's a work of love regardless if the instrument sounds awesome or just hangs on the wall.
