The next morning, one of my slides had been sucked into the horn completely and was stuck, and nothing that I did could dislodge it. I went to my local music repair shop (this was like 15 minutes before my exam btw) and watched as they took A FREAKING BLOWTORCH to my instrument. I nearly passed out.

    This was so fascinating to watch! The points that surprised me the most were as follows:
    1. Standing on a Violin without breaking it is possible, but sitting isn't
    2. You need to work fast when gluing a Violin, it only takes 5 minutes to dry
    3. After gluing the Violin, you need to put "braces" on it so it doesn't come apart
    4. Reinforcements are used to repair cracks in the Violin
    5. Humidity and Oil/Sweat from your skin can effect your violin, causing it to not be able to be glued together after a while

      For #1, I think Olaf meant that the violin can take gradually applied force rather than one that is applied quickly (like when you sit down) because it was designed to withstand the force of the strings gradually becoming more taunt, and thus having a greater force applied on the instrument, and then having to hold it for an undisclosed amount of time

    • @eolsunder
      @eolsunder Před 2 lety +2

      2) depends on the glue. There are various types of glue, older glues dried fast so you had to do the work quick, but modern glues with modern science they have glues that dry slower so they dry in 10-15 minutes instead of 5 minutes, giving you time to do stuff without rushing.
      3) Yea you need to use braces on any type of sealant work to minimalize the gap and space between the structures for the glue to work better. Any occupation that does this, mechanics, wood working, etc uses clamps and braces to hold the structure together for minimal space so the glue works better.

      Definitely not. At least hide glue is non-toxic. Not to mention that violin strings were originally (and sometimes still are) made from sheep's intestines (called catgut but never made from cats). Also, some red dyes (including FDA-approved red food coloring) are made insects, as is shellac (but shellac isn't used as a finish on violins). If you want to live a 100% vegan lifestyle, it's best not too be too curious.

    I recall the shock I felt when a luthier opened my cello and critiqued the repairs. There had been numerous repairs of cracks, and I learned that the fingerboard, neck, and scroll were not original to the instrument-another shock! The instrument had not been well taken care of before I got it; wood was missing from all the corners, there was a 3/4 size bridge on that full-size cello (weird!), and several repairs had to be redone. Also there were several openings along seams. Once all the necessary repairs had been made, the instrument finally sounded wonderful. It had a really big, rich sound that projected very well. I was told pretty early on that it was an instrument built by a famous maker in the mid-19th century.
    About ten years ago I had no money and huge medical bills. The only choice I had was to sell it to a very well-known dealer. When I discovered that the dealer sold it for $35K but had paid me only $14K (the amount it was insured, based on the assessment of another luthier/dealer), I was furious that I had been stiffed like that. Later I found out that the dealer who bought my instrument was known for taking advantage of people who had to sell their pride and joy. I have desperately missed my cello ever since I handed it over, and I will never be able to replace it. Caveat emptor. Research luthiers and dealers before you do business with them. Most are trustworthy, but some are definitely not.

      I suspect if two part epoxy was around 300 years ago, instrument makers would have used it (I don't think they thought these instruments would ever be taken apart for repairs). The unintended benefit of hot hide glue is that it makes these instruments serviceable now and in the future.

    I saw rolls of raw pork skin at the grocery store one time and thought, "I should make my own lard." Except I learned afterward that there's not a whole lot of fat in the skin. I made hide glue by accident. The art form "collage" comes from the French word for "glue" related to the connective tissue "collagen" from which the glue is derived.

    I love watching Luthier's work on violin's. they all have their own techniques, while doing the same task. I was expecting to see him heat his knife to open the edges with. not just do it cold like that. I know heat helps to soften hide glues or any glue for that matter. it can't hurt if done properly. Love the edge clamps he made they look like that can impose the most accurate amount of continuous pressure. which is what's needed to make for a good glue joint. I have seen many types of clamps used by many craftsmen of various fields of woodworking etc. thanks for sharing.ECF

    • @hzuiel
      @hzuiel Před 4 lety +6

      @just a nameOh also sometimes investment companies will buy expensive instruments like multi million dollar stradivarius violins, take out insurance on it, and then loan it to museums, or if it is a sought after instrument for it's sound, they might rent it or loan it to some of the world's top violinists. Joshua bell has a strad violin that he bought for 4 million dollars, that is probably worth 10-15 million. He had already been performing and recording and had purchased a strad that was worth 2 million dollars, and he sold that one and came up with the rest to buy his new one for 4 million, and I think he has had that violin for 12 years now, during which time it has probably tripled in value. Performing for live audiences he makes upwards of 60,000 an hour and I would imagine makes far more when recording with said instrument. So it makes sense for him to invest in an instrument that helps sell tickets and sell albums.
      One of the best living violinists, hillary hahn, plays on a strad copy made by vuillaume in the later 1800's, that is probably worth in that 500k ballpark, and she has won multiple grammy awards and performs for live audiences. So again it makes sense for her to invest in a stellar instrument that plays and sounds exactly like she wants it to.
