Product Information

Seams can naturally open over time due to changes in humidity, string tension, or age-related movement. While open seams are a common issue in wooden instruments, it’s important to address them promptly to maintain the structural integrity and sound quality of the instrument.

This service involves a careful inspection of the entire instrument to check for any open seams along the top plate, back plate, and ribs. Any areas found to be open will be professionally cleaned, realigned, and resealed using traditional hide glue for a secure and acoustically sound join.

This service includes:

  • Full inspection for open seams across the body of the instrument

  • Cleaning and preparation of affected areas

  • Re-gluing open seams with traditional hide glue

  • Clamping and setting to ensure a stable, long-lasting bond

  • Final inspection to confirm integrity and tonal responsiveness

Availability: This service is available at our Billinghay workshop.
Post-in service: Instruments can be posted to us at the owner's risk. All shipping costs must be covered by the customer.

Packaging guidelines:

  • Loosen the strings slightly before packing

  • Wrap the instrument in acid-free tissue paper or silk before adding padding

  • Never allow bubble wrap to touch the varnish directly

  • Use a hard case or a well-padded box

  • Clearly label the package as FRAGILE
