I like this restoration in particular. Many restoration projects on KZread actually rebuild a device to a point where even the original manufacturer would not recognize it anymore. Your restoration does not hide the age or aging of the instrument and keeps much of the old character, patina and style. It is a beautiful piece of work. And very well recorded as well.

The before is enough to make a music lover cry. Your restoration has made it beautiful again.

looked like all it needed was a new top, back, sides, neck, fretboard, bridge, nut, tuners, tailpiece and strings....amazing work!

Wasn't sure if it could be fixed. Should've known as talented as you are you can fix anything and make it beautiful again! I chuckled when I heard you laugh over breaking the string. You definitely turned this into a gorgeous instrument again! Stunning job! 😊❤ Congratulations on your next summer marriage 😊

Só faltou tocar um chorinho no final e especificar cola e vernizes utilizados...mas foi muito interessante ver o excelente trabalho. Parabéns !! A música agradece.

I love that just because it started out life as 'cheap' didn't mean it was junk to be tossed. It's much lovelier, in more natural stains.

Thank you for bringing back to life this instrument. Even though some comments said it was originally a cheap instrument coming from a family with many children we also got a lot of joy and fun from the less expensive things. I am sure that if that mandolin could talk it would tell of many hours of fun and laughter and maybe even a love aria or two. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Giusto precisare che questo strumento non é un "mandolino", ma una " mandola piatta francese a 4 corde doppie". Detto ciò, il recupero dello strumento e veramente soddisfacente, l'impegno é lodevole e il risultato è più che evidente. L'aspetto finale e la finitura restano piuttosto grezzi ma, ripeto, per essere uno strumento destinato alla discarica, il ridultato é eccellente😊 It is fair to point out that this instrument is not a "mandolin", but a "French flat mandola with 4 double strings". Having said that, the recovery of the instrument is truly satisfactory, the effort is commendable and the result is more than evident. The final appearance and finish remain rather rough but, I repeat, for an instrument destined for landfill, the result is excellent.

When I watch your restorations I am amazed at how much you know about so many different things! Thank you for what you do!

''Bring me a mandolin so you can see how I hurt And then I will become a lily and then I will disappear What do I care if I get lost since I will have become a lily Bring me a mandolin'' Greek song lyrics. Restoring an instrument in this condition is relatively easy for someone in the know but getting started is difficult.
