        John Burke Mojo Mobile Guitar Repair posted an update

        8 months ago

        Greetings all! I’m repairing a student-level cello, neck snapped off at the heel. I removed the fingerboard and reattached the neck with hide glue. It was a pretty clean break, and fit back together nicely. My question is – some sources say to reinforce the neck joint with 1 or 2 dowels before attaching the fingerboard, some say don’t… anyone have opinions or experience one way or the other? Thanks!

          John, this is a really good question. Could you post it in the forum so we don’t lose track of it ? It would go great here. https://dev.loothgroup.com/groups/repair-and-restoration/forum/repair-and-restoration/general/
