I haven't posted in quite a while but I was impressed at the skill, tenacity and patience shown by this young Ukranian woman tackling a basket case restoration of an old Martin CTSH classical.

I'm sure that few of us would even venture to tackle a restoration/repair like this but I'd surely like to know who taught her the skills she so deftly demonstrates. I would guess that the availability of newer instruments in Eastern Europe is limited and the ability to restore and repair instruments would be in demand. I was drawn in to watching this video until the end and wanted to see the end result. The last minute or so presents yet another challenge to her skill level......

I restored a Gibson J45 with a top like that but I just retopped it, I would worry about the structural integrity over time. Still, it is a classical so it will probably be fine and I did enjoy watching the work.
