    It takes two magicians to make a violin work. One to build it, and one to play it.

    The difference in the sound of her violin is amazing. So much richer.

    The violin almost sounded like it was protesting being played before.  Much cleaner and smoother afterwards.

    The talent of these two people, in such a positive interaction, with a tangible improvement in her instrument, was such an enjoyable thing to watch and listen to.

    I don't play but I watched a master violin maker take care of a master violinist. Thank you!

    HUGE difference in the sound, and her playing became so much smoother. Well done, sir.

    I&apos;m a guitar player, lyricist, and vocalist in the USA. I&apos;ve been fortunate to find a truly skilled luthier 10 minutes from my home.<br>Notoriously, I had purchased instruments within the budget I could &nbsp;afford at the time. But he has always made each of them them sound better than anyone could imagine.<br>I could fully hear the difference after your work. <br>Much respect for your &nbsp;skills! Thanks for sharing this story :)

    That G string was diabolical in the upper registers beforehand. She’s a real cutie 🥰.

    The opening sequence in Claude Sautet’s 1992 film Un Coeur En Hiver was a revelation to me when a violin restorer in the audience at a concert can hear that one of the violins being played sounds like it has a hairline crack that should be repaired. &nbsp;My ears have only gotten worse, yet there are people like him who can hear issues and know how to correct them. &nbsp;Amazing!

    She was working so hard to get the sound before - the transformation is great!
