Magic Marker Lutherie
June 8th, 2007
I was reading this blog post by Clare Chu about restoring a half-size violin, and she mentioned she used a Sharpie pen to touch up a worn part of the fingerboard. She also mentioned the she was pretty sure that that technique wasn’t written in any violin repair manual. That may be true, but I do know of one very famous instrument maker that is aware of that particular quick fix.-MJS

There’s that famous Peter Green song made even more famous by Santana…
“Got a black magic marker…..
Got a black magic marker….
Got a black magic marker, hide all those dings and those nicks
Got a black magic marker, it’s got to be the best of my good tricks….”
