- Here at Rosa String Works we do more than just repair instruments. Sometimes we help make last wishes come true.
One special grandmother had one last wish. To have the fiddle that Grandpa played, to play one last time as love ones say goodbye to the matriarch of the family.

You are a very honorable Man, Jerry!!! Thanks for sharing!
Gentleman Jerry, thank you for sharing this tribute.
Blessings to the family.
You rock, Jerry. May the family be comforted.
You are a good man Jerry and a very good luthier also
Great job Jerry a great job for a sad occasions
Mr Rosa Please Give them my condolences.
BTW, Grandpa's method for holding the tailpiece on is actually pretty ingenious. It eliminates the stretching you have to do with the usual cord attachment, and it will hold forever. Villaume would have approved, considering some of the goofy things he came up with as "improvements" on the instrument. Kudos to Grandpa for that one.
Nice job Jerry!
God bless Doc, what a wonderful memory you are providing for the family & friends!
You are a special person . You helped a family when it means the most. Your road on your journey through life will be smooth. And this action has lined it with Roses.
Nice job Jerry injoyed the video 👍
God bless you Grandmother and Godspeed. 🙏
may God bless you.
You have a wonderful heart, Jerry.
Hear hear!
Great job as always!
The thing about any technique is whether it works or not. If it does, then it's fine. If it doesn't, then it needs to be changed. If your way of doing things isn't the way someone else does it, fine. If it works, that is all that matters. Norm Abrams and Roy Underhill taught me years ago that there is always a different way to do something, and as long as it gets the job done, that is all that matters.
Best to the family, I hope Grandma's passing is gentle and easy. Best to all of them.
Great quick work, Jerry. Love it.
Jerry, That was a very nice gesture for you to prioritize that repair. Nice job. Many years ago, for his birthday, I tweaked my father's old Stradivarius copy violin. He only played it back in school when he was in his early-late teens . I added a new bridge, strings, and a chin rest. I cleaned it , polished it and tuned it. My father died back in 2006, but his old violin still remains in our family.
I have to agree with Mitch...You got a wonderful Heart Jerry
My thoughts and prayers to the family as well! Grandma's Violin is likely an episode I will not soon forget. Thanks for sharing Jerry...
Nice job Jerry
You are the man Jerry!
It sure was nice of you to get that done, i'm sure the family really appreciates it.
God bless you, Jerry!
Great job. Prayers for that ladies family, & for you & your family as well.
Well done, Jerry.
You are a really good guy.
Jerry, I do some work on antique furniture. When dowels have shrunk and are loose in the mortise, I have used paper, but usually I will use shavings from a hand plane or cloth. With all that said...I think you’re good to go...as if you need to hear that. Great job!
Wonderful!
Hi Jerry;
Thank you for this video. I was so bored and then this video popped up to save the evening. Nice job for a "quick and dirty" fix. You always seem to be able to find a simple way to bring instruments back. Simple relative to the complexity of the job at hand. It looks great for such a quick fix.
Another cool job Jerry
Awesome Jerry
Get er done!
Who knows....maybe sometime in the future one of the family members might want to learn to play violin and this one will be able! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
A sad occasion. May she rest in peace.
Good work Jerry!
Very good
Love you all
Awesome job as usual Jerry!!
great job jerry,you old softy,huggs
Like #98
Thanks for the video!
You have a good heart, and a true inspiration of how we should treat people when it really matters. I have watched nearly all your videos, and I wait for them to come out regularly.
It will truly be a sad day when you are no longer able to work on instruments. It is also a shame that you have no one to continue Rosa String Works, If I was in the US, I would gladly apply to become your apprentice and continue your work under your supervision. Blessings.
I don’t think anyone would mind a cut in line for a situation like this. I would insist that they go ahead of me if I knew about it.
Now there is a lot of Good Karma.
Hi Jerry. Thanks as always for really informative content. Question...can you recommend a good book on the building/construction of violins? Thx!
I'll try to remember the book I have in the next shop talk
Is Caleb goofing off? :-)
That's my secret, I'm always goofing off 😁
Teflon tape
You don't use teflon tape, when you want something to Stick.
Threaded joint, fine. Slip fit, no.
Noticed Caleb looking in the garbage. Wonder what he lost?.....
What a waste of pure black ebony. Anybody heard of the pure black ebony shortage?
