What you’re seeing here are gobs of waterproof glue that were applied by a “professional” repair shop. This nasty stuff will need to be removed before this cello can be reassembled. There will be labor intensive elbow grease going into this job that will not be completely compensated. I guess that’s what they mean by take the bad with the good. Wish me luck… I’m going in!!!

Ha!! Those old busted bridges come in handy for all sorts of tasks!
One of my carved rental basses getting some cracks repaired and seams sealed… Before the face goes back on, I’ll size or seal the entire interior of the bass with a thin gelatin solution to help it retain moisture a little better. This work is never charged to the customer which in this case is a school district… it’s baked into the yearly rental fee.
I’ll admit this year’s cold winter has been a challenge with seasoning issues, there hasn’t been a single day where there isn’t a disassembled bass or cello, usually several strewn about the shop and I think I’ve gone through nearly a pound of hide glue!! Well, spring is almost here. Phew!!
