Most recently we have worked on a number of fine instruments made in the early 1900s as well as a further antique made in the 1600s. We are always happy to give you a quotation for work proposed with a detailed breakdown where this would be helpful. Where conservation is required suitable techniques and materials would be used and a detailed 'logging of condition and of work carried' out can be undertaken and supplied. It is surprisingly inexpensive to restore modern instruments which can be purchased at well below 'as new instrument' prices making the whole operation a good route to owning what many see as rather expensive items. Stringed instruments deteriorate through use. Indeed, even standing in a room unused, some loss in performance will occur. The common problems with stringed instruments are: soundboard splits, warped bridges and loose frets

171. Stringed Instruments Stringed instruments The banjo is a stringed instrument that is part of thelute family. It has four or five strings stretched from the head to the body http://library.thinkquest.org/04apr/00275/string_ins.htm

Stringed Instruments Guitar A versatile instrument with a rich history, the guitar has been popular for thousands of years and is still well-liked in popular culture today. Forms of the guitar were thought to have been played in Egypt 5000 years ago. Around 1500 AD, the guitar became a prevalent instrument in Spain. Centuries later, in the 1920s, the guitar started overtaking the banjo in popularity in the United States. Now, the guitar is still a very popular instrument, especially in folk and rock music. The guitar consists of a hollow sound chamber and a neck with frets, or small strips of metal, in chromatic order, across the fingerboard. The standard guitar has six strings, which are made of either steel or nylon. Nowadays, there are three main types of guitars. The classical acoustic guitar produces a soft clear sound, while the steel-string guitar produces a harder but louder sound. The electric guitar, which is also fitted with steel strings, can produce an array of sounds and volumes depending on how it is amplified. Harp The harp is one of the most ancient instruments in existence. It is thought to have been around for over four thousand years. The modern harp has 47 strings and seven pedals which control the pitches of the strings. The harp is played with both hands with four fingers from each hand. The natural key of the harp is C major, but by use of the pedals, string pitches can be altered up to two half-steps. Therefore, the harp can play all the notes of a chromatic scale. Harpists can play individual notes as well as chords, but they usually play the notes of a chord in rapid succession instead of all of at once. This technique is also used on other musical instruments and is called an "arpeggio," which means "played like a harp."

[curriculum vitae] [introduction] [sound] [construction] ... [the bow] A good violin, properly made can last for a very long time. It is really quite amazing that some of the earliest works of the master violin makers of Brescia, Italy dating from the early 16th century, are still being used by professional musicians, despite their relatively fragile build. Of course an instrument's life span and healthy condition is directly related to the care taken by it's owners to preserve it. As well as the critical effects of atmospheric changes, various other dangers such as shocks and blows threaten an instrument's health constantly. The owner of a violin, viola or cello can help preserve their instrument by proper cleaning , monitoring cracks and keeping an eye on the general setup . Well fitting pegs induce less wear on the original wood of the pegbox and conscientious owners will periodically check on the state of the bridge tailpiece saddles and fingerboard . Perhaps most important though, is consulting a skilled violin maker. ATMOSPHERE back to top BRIDGE The function of the bridge is to support the strings and to transmit vibrations.
