| Pegholes plugged and
reamed. Two pegs original and four made by me to match.. This
work was necessary because the pegholes had been drilled out
so that tuning machines on a metal baseplate could be fitted.
the tuning machines had then been removed causing the pegs to
be inoperable. |

| 3 Pictures above showing
the backplate which is very dirty and woodwormed. Middle picture
following cleaning and showing one of two new braces necessary
becuse the originals could not be reglued because of woodworm.
The picture on the right has a cleat and a patch which is set
into half the thiockness of the back. This was necessary because
of woodworm damage in the area which is glued to the end block. |
