LouisXVI Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Hi Guys, My question is if it is worthy to restore the F holes of this antique violin or is it better to leave them as they are? Do you think the sounds is being affected by having those holes in its current state? Thanks in advance for your answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Butcher Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I can't tell what your issue is with the soundholes, and why you perceive they may affect the sound. What will affect the sound is those awful strings, which sound gruesome on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisXVI Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 Because they looked chipped, like tiny pieces of wood have fallen off from the f holes. Do you think the f holes look good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Butcher Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 The rest of the violin looks like it was danced on by bears, so the soundholes blend right in. I would not worry too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be acceptable, and I cannot understand what you think the benefit you may gain will be. I would just enjoy your violin as it is.
