[LUTE] Re: lute repair question (fwd)

First, I am not a professional luthier, so this is just the observation of an engineer and amateur woodwoorker: There are extremely handy vacuum clamps that can be used to glue a bridge down without removing the top. They are used in some guitar repairs where the intricacies of the bracing and/or

[LUTE] Re: lute repair question (fwd)

Hi Wayne: This is a possibility, probably Tite Bond. However there are so many in the Lute community that might send you to the pillories for such a suggestion, it's blasphemy. That's why I did not suggest it. If pragmatism is the order of the day, not to mention price and time, the yellow g

[LUTE] Re: lute repair question

It is indeed possible to reset the bridge without removing the soundboard. You MUST remove the old glue!!! And it is still a tricky fix. Fish glue or slow setting Crazy glue, you can apply some clamping pressure by seating the lute in the case. Don't use a rubbery glue; it may dampen the sound. Do

[LUTE] Re: lute repair question

In majority of cases (!) there is absolutely no need to remove soundboard in order to re-glue the bridge; in this situation in particularly where the bridge separation is clean. Most experienced lute makers would know how to do this and the whole procedure takes no more than 5 minutes ... The

[LUTE] Re: lute repair question (fwd)

When the bridge came off my lute I took it to a well respected lute repairman, and he did not have to take the top off! He used a yellow glue instead of hide glue. He said it was stronger. Wayne > From: Gernot Hilger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [LUTE] Re: lute repair question > >

[LUTE] Re: lute repair question

Hi Laura: You need to talk to someone who is intimately familiar with Lutes, having made them. Re-gluing the bridge on a Lute is a bigger issue than that on a Guitar. The sound board should be removed which opens up a very large can of worms you don't want Joe Lukamabutcrok The plumber futzin

[LUTE] Re: lute repair question

Hola Laura, you'll need to take the lute to a luthier. To reglue the bridge, the top must be taken off. This is beyond ordinary workmen. And, as you will probably be aware off, this is quite a critical joint and you don't want somebody to botch with it. Good luck g On 08.07.2007, at 17:59,
