One can think about the points of stress and employ proactive measures to overcome them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethics of repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, one can&#8217;t notice any repair work. You are invisible, able of getting in and out inconspicuously, in the dark of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repairs should be made with the top of one&#8217;s ability, however, additional labels (Repair Labels &#8211; more on <a href=\"https:\/\/maestronet.com\/forum\/index.php?\/topic\/324785-do-you-use-repair-labels\/\">Maestronet<\/a>) could be put on the instrument for commenting on those and allowing others to inspect them (I read somewhere that this was a practice in English violin repairing &#8211; I could be wrong).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not saying this is what to do &#8211; <em>do whatever you want<\/em> &#8211; I personally would not do it. There are restorers and there are restorers. If you did a good job you would take credit, however, a bad job would blame you for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preliminaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact an expert &#8211; don&#8217;t try to repair if you don&#8217;t work with violin making (even if you do, really). Anything you do will ruin the piece. Drop it.
