Jannes Irps - Repair of an old HOPF violin part 1 

Luthiers are awesome. I love how slow and gentle you work. you can't rush this kind of job.

Very informative and helpful. Thanks. The sounds of life in the background are great.

I really enjoyed watching you work. I wasn't intending on watching the whole video as it is a bit long, but I couldn't stop. Instrument repair is so fascinating!

Thank you for showing this work. Very informative and impressive.

Worth watching!

l have the same model hope 1800 antique violin lt was very useful

Les Feuilles Mortes playing in the background. A+

Absolutely exquisite work you’ve done a magnificent job what kind of wood do you use for the patches on the inside?

I have an old violin in my basement that is in terrible condition, and is really special to my family. Someday soon I hope to repair it so that my sister, who plays violin, can play it and it will stay with our family.

I recently acquired an old violin that was stored in an attic for years. I removed the top to repair some of its’ cracks and noticed the wood is quite dry and brittle is there anything I can put on the wood to help preserve it that will not total destroy the sound quality of the violin ?

So much confidence in your movements!

Very interesting! I don't mind the background noises - they don't obscure the voice, and it sounds like a real workshop should, with other craftsmen working and lots of activity.

bless you @14:50

bagus sekali ! Matur suksma

Bravo

What a professional job 👍

Hello. What's the name of the clamp used in minute 6?

How much does all this damage then restoration affect the sound of the instrument?

where do you get your collection?

Thank you for the videos sir. I wanted to share with you a technique of getting glue into the hard to get to diminishing ends of cracks with a little suction cup, the kind you might find holding a piece of crystal to a window. If you put a small pool of glue over the area, place the suction cup into the puddle and press, pull, press, pull, you will find it gets into the further reaches of a crack which traditional methods cannot reach. One question: at 15:28, why do you use hide glue instead of something more permanent, and should you not prepare the surfaces with moisture? Thanks.

When applying patches, blocks, and graphs, do you use matching wood; for example, spruce for the top plate and maple for the back plate? Also, are the patches, blocks, and graphs that are used on the inside aligned to match the grain direction, or cross grain for added strength?

in making crack repairs have you used or heard of using fiberglass and epoxy, that is used to make boat repairs, instead of the wood patches to hold cracks together

How can you work on such a delicate repair job with all that noise ? I can't even stand a fly fart when I'm restoring an instrument :-)

At what point does a violin like this become unserviceable? How many patches and cleats can the top receive before its resonance is diminished?

I love working with hide glue. That is a wonderful brass clamp.

How much do these patches affect the tonal quality of the instrument?

What ate the purpose of those sqare patches? (the old ones)

Is there a magic formula for the number and size of cleats to use on a crack?

15:24 "AH QUE CARALHO" me fez rir muito. Afora isso,excelente restauração, mestre =)

15:24 "ah caralho" kkkkkkkkk

Won't this affect the sound of the violin tremendously?

What kind of glue is nest to use?

Я бы не назвал мастером этого человека

I wished you had of showed how you removed the top.

😁

fantastic, interesting ;) big like , and sub ofc ;)

je suis luthier amateur ...a marakech.

When set so many patches, how it affecting at the sound, you thinking about it? These patches change the setting of the deck.!? You without thinking repeat awful work your predecessors.

Did that woman in the background just say..."Caralho"?

The woman say "Caralho" ahahahaha. min 24.33.

Fu..ing noise. Most irritating to hear while watching the fantastic work.

No me gusta que este lleno de taquitos yo prefiero hacer taquitos incrustados es mejor

I bet this repair cost an eye and an arm

鑿？の切れ味がイマイチな気がする。。。

Too much trouble for a Hopf. Unless you guys work for peanuts, the repair costs more than the value of a Hopf violin.

у меня у одного сложилось впечатление что "мастер" рукожоп? (((

the background NOISES are disturbing as well as confusing. Plan better.

nothing worse than a video with all the odd sounds and distracting movement!

15:24 :"Ah, que caralho" , kkkkkk
