For anyone interested, here is the latest repair I experienced. To be honest, there were lots of times I wished I had never seen the thing. But it turned out OK, and the owner is thrilled.

I got an e-mail a few days ago...here's an excerpt:

"Do you have any idea at all how much I appreciate you for restoring that old German violin? I could thank you a hundred times each day because you made it so much better than it ever was in my lifetime. Maybe a hundred years ago it was this good as it is now, but by the time I acquired that violin in 1971, it was.......well, you know very well what had been done and what had not been done, then the final last straw when it got the steam bath (when the hot water pipe got the pin hole in the wall behind the closet and you know that story)."

She sounds pretty happy with it. That is comforting to know.

Ha...without happy customers we'd be working as customs officials looking for ivory tips!

That would be a little too grim...
