Event Description
Participants will learn about basic string instrument repairs under the guidance of luthier Dalton Potter. “First watch, then do” is the basic method for imparting the most commonly performed repair and maintenance procedures. Potential topics covered include how to cut a bridge, refit friction pegs, set up fallen soundposts (and how to tell whether they actually fit or not). We will cover tips on installing strings, tailguts, basic maintenance, and analyzing potential repair needs. “Quick-repair” of uneven nuts, bridges, and loose fingerboards will be demonstrated. We will also cover gluing open seams and repairing broken necks in inexpensive instruments. Students are encouraged to bring in instruments for close examination and potential repair during the class.
