Re: Inside a Lockey Hill Cello (c.1780)

I'm surprised how clean it is in there. I've worked on plenty of 50yo old instruments that look way worse.
I find the scruffier parts interesting, where the tool marks are visible, it just shows that time has always been money.
Thanks for sharing

Re: Please Say Hello!!

Hi Folks,
I'm new here but not new to guitars.
I did 25 years as a full time repairer and the last 5 have been just making electric guitar pickups.

Re: Trumps tariffs

Since the tariffs were imposed I have sent around 10 items over to the US from NZ. They were all well under the US$800 De Minimis threshold. Everything sailed through without even a hint of delay. Seems like business as usual for small items.
