Rogue's Gallery

 Over the years my workbench has hosted many instruments that have been damaged in ways that should not have happened.  Here are a few of them:


1.     Violin bridge - hot-glued to the instrument:



2.    Double Bass - a neck repaired with two screws and a bolt:



3.    Markneukirchen Violin (Late 19th Century catalogue instrument) - the inside of the face could never be seen, so why go to the effort?  Rough gouging with what passes as a bass bar carved out.  Pictures are before and after I finished the job, 100 years later:
