Hi fellow people that do not play the violin, don't know anything about violins but still somehow ended up here 😂

It sounds better for sure but also as important is how much easier the player was able to hit the notes and the double stops and string crossings. I can tell playability was hugely improved.<br>Amazing job Olaf!

What a great profession you have. The smile on that young lady's face is worth millions.

One of my favorite parts of Youtube is the ability to watch masters of their craft doing what they do best. You took what is clearly a well-loved instrument, and made it truly sing. That young woman is incredibly lucky to have been a part of this project, and will remember this for the rest of her life.

Years ago we bought an old violin for $150 in a liquor store of all places. Turns out It was a German gagliano reproduction from between 1880 -1910. It had 2 large cracks from the tail that had been "repaired" with epoxy or something & the front plate was completely off. The local violin repair guy said not worth fixing and it sat for years. But 2 years ago I decided to fix it myself. Thanks to what I learned from your channel & my previous woodworking skills, I was able to repair the damage, glue the top back on (hide glue of course) clean up the fingerboard, French polish it and it's now a lovely instrument saved from the trash. Thanks for putting your knowledge out here for us.

Olaf, it’s a true win win. You make an average instrument into something much more. The student hears that difference and learns what a wonderful sound they can make. You also generate revenue which allows you to continue this type of service. Everybody wins. Well done Sir.

I'm a guitarist and I know how much better the feel and sound of my guitars is after being set up properly by a skilled luthier. Thank you for making this young lady see her future much better. You've increased her passion for her instrument.
