Not allowed??? Who says.lol

Azt gondolom, hogy az egyik legjobb mester jelenleg! I think he is one of the best masters at the moment! Humble attitude, great expertise! Nice to see you at work. Greetings from Hungary! :)

Merci!

Amos seus videos, o que usa para polir o instrumento?

We really enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Brazil!

🙏🙏🙏

I'm a crafter with woodworking experience, I'm going to give this a try.

I'm glad you're here again, and I'll be happy to watch any repair videos in the future!

That fingerboard clamp is awesome!

I see you profiled across the fingerboard with template. However, your fingerboard seems straight: did you made the curvature ALONG the fingerboard?

bravo maestro, i have a question about diameter of the pegs string hole sometimes when i buy the new pair of strings they wont fit into the hole becouse the thread thats wraped is too thick ...whats the quick fix for it without reaming hole larger to luthier?

Another wonderful video, Maestro! And the violin I bought from you is seeing a lot of use these days. I'm recently part of a trio that plays folk and indie music covers, and we have a casual gig next month at the local Irish pub. The projection quality is perfect for such settings!

I love your content. Your work with hot glue has taught me some tricks that I use on the instruments I work on. Thank you!

Happy to see you again !!

hello, just wanted to thank you for the effort you put into the videos.

You casually, with your passion and love, teach us your mastery of a unique and rare skill that must make Guarneri, Amati, Sarafin and even Stradivari blush in the afterlife. I bet you could make a modern Chinese plywood violin sound like a Mittenwald. Thank you.

Welcome back! I would really like to see you finish the pochette

I agree with other comments about enjoying watching the repair process, even if it is repetitive. As for new ideas, I would love a video on identifying an instruments origin: what features make a violin look German, French, etc. Thanks so much for doing what you do!

Very nice video.

Oh boy.... this is going to be a trip... No one works with that in hundreds of miles where I live. Good luck to me, I'm gonna need it.

Get a Dremel saves you the hassle of sawing for 30 mins

An extremely helpful video, thank you.

Welcome back, Maestro! I completely understand the effort and dedication that goes into creating these videos. I want you to know that I, along with many others, thoroughly enjoy watching each one, even if it covers familiar ground. Please upload at your own pace-your work has my full attention and interest!

Please consider a video about how to customise a cello bridge. Thanks

Wish you would play it one song at the end of every repair. Because it would be nice to hear what the instrument sounds like after you repaired it.. I hope you change this on yoir video so

You can make shorter videos about historical violins from the point of view of a violin maker. Historical facts that involve violin making. And also you can talk about the great musical works for violin and what kind of acoustical properties should a violin have, from the perspective of a maker, to be able to match the different styles of the violin works. I would love to see you interact with the violin's super rich history! There is a lot to mine there and your perspective as a maker would be very valuable for the average musician!

When the world needed him most... He came back!

Pochette!!!!

How’s the pochette coming on? Did you finish it?

Thanks Maestro. It's good to see you again. You have really helped me a lot with your videos and I have learned a lot. I have learned to make small adjustments and repairs thanks to you. I live in El Salvador, and we don't really have luthiers here, so this educational material has been very valuable to me. You are my virtual teacher and I appreciate it. 🫶

I would love to see you maintain and rehair a double bass bow. I can bring it on Saturday!

Welkom terug, een groetje van Belgie

The great miracle in violin making is how you tune the plates for optimal sound production. You can never study enough in this field. Maybe you have an idea for a tutorial.

I have learnt a lot from your videos for both making and repairing. Your videos on oil varnish were particularly helpful. I would also appreciate a video on spirit varnish. Many thanks.

I like watching you, as a person, work on violins and instruments you enjoy working on. I appreciate that you want to bring new ideas and keep your work focused on not recycling ideas, but I could watch you do repairs all day. I'm one of these people who subscribe to Olaf the Violin maker, twofrd, not a luthier, and others who put out basically the same content over and over, fixing up violins and guitars. It's relaxing to see artists at work, it's nice to hear conversation about the topic, and luthiers of all personalities seem to be interesting people in general, yourself included! That said, I respect that making videos is a lot of work, and the work needs to be valuable to you as well! If filming and talking through repairs is boring for you, it will be boring for us too, so its better to make sure you are filming what interests you, and not doing it out of obligation. For video ideas, I would be interested to see even small videos about small details about violin making. Like if you made a short about how you get a purfling corner to be sharp, that would be cool. Or like if you had a learned technique with a tool that has helped you be better at your craft, that you think every luthier should know about. But I like long format videos more :) I'm glad to be a subscriber! Love your work and have gone back to it a couple times in search of answers I remember you talking about

I am a volunteer amateur luthier for a youth orchestra in Ecuador. People from the US give me broken instruments to repair for the kids. I don't work on valuable instruments. Almost any instrument is better than the $100 instruments they purchase here. I have gotten many ideas from your channel. The repair that is most difficult for me is where the peg box has broken. Or the neck at the narrow part just below the peg box and broken necks in general. So any videos on these topics would really be helpful. I've done a lot of these repairs. A few have failed. While not valuable instruments, it means a kid is without one. I'm glad you are back. You are my favorite RUclips luthier.

Ofcorse maestro please do make alot of new videos i adore your channel and i learned so much becouse of you.

I love your repair series. Each bit of damage is unique and you teach me something new every time you master a repair.

Always willing to watch any repairs you do. Repairs will always present slightly different details and comments, about the repairs. Your comments are very helpful, to understand the how and why, of what you are doing, beyond just watching. Love your work and videos. 😁✌🖖

Thank you very much. Please, could you make a video to explain how to coloring and applying a spirit varnish ? Joël Curchod, switzerland.

Hey Maestro, where do you buy the ingredients for your varnish?

Super vidéo ❤ you can show us how we trace the template of a violin, that is to say tracing with the compass, the ruler...

Im county srilanka your work is very well i need your phone number got the advice repairing violin thank you sir

The violin didn’t have any corner blocks. This really indicates that it was a cheaply crafted instrument. Would adding them have made the violin more solid to prevent separation from the ribs?

Good job

Great to see you again maestro, i have learned a lot with you!

Excellent

Your accent for some reason sounds very Greek but not quite Greek. I'm not sure if you are a Greek or not or immigrated from Greece to another country and got a mixed accent... I'm curious to know. Sorry for not writing a violin related comment

I would have used Titebond ORIGINAL only and it is way stronger and better than hyde glue and can still be easily undone with heat.
