New article alert🚨
📰We are proud that our Workshop and Restoration Manager In Kyu Hwang is featured in this month’s Strad magazine.
🎻 In this article, he takes us through the restoration project he took on of a patch on the back of a special Rogeri violin. As he writes, “I demonstrate my process of using a veneer to achieve an invisible restoration, in conjunction with conventional patch techniques to achieve the needed structural integrity.”
