A client rang with an emergency because the edge was coming of the top plate of the violin. When the violin arrived it even shocked me!

Master violin maker and restorer Olaf Grawert shows the steps as he repairs a broken edge on a Colin Mezin violin. He makes a mould, repairs the edge, fixes the crushed wood fibres and does double edging.
