After restoration.

This collin-Mezin violin presented a sound post crack, extending from the upper part of the f-hole to the lower edge of the table. The crack was properly cleaned and reglued. This picture shows the table, ready to receive a soundpost patch as reinforcement.

This violin by Honore Derazey presented an old headcrack, below the scroll. This picture shows the method used to glue it back, after reopening and cleaning it.

After the touch-up process, the crack is barely visible.

This 18th century austrian violin presented an old crack running all the lenght of the back of the instrument. It had obviously been previously restored, but it reopened again.
