Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration: Ageing the bridge
http://thisoldzithermandolinbanjo.blogspot.com/2015/02/ageing-bridge.html
Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration. My attempt to return an antique Zither Mandolin Banjo to a playable state. Monday, 9 February 2015. I decided the shiny new metal and maple bridge looked a little incongruent with the rest of the instrument. The wood being maple is low in tannins and so difficult to age. I added some black tea and ground coffee to distilled vinegar and heated it a few times in the microwave to speed up the stewing to make a stain. To control the drying and timing precisely I sat it on a...

Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration: Finished, more or less.

Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration. My attempt to return an antique Zither Mandolin Banjo to a playable state. Monday, 9 February 2015. Finished, more or less. Well it's taken about a month but the Zither Mandolin Banjo is pretty much finished. I could continue making little changes here and there but my aim was to get it playable and I've done that. It's been an interesting process, learnt a few new things along the way. Just got to figure out how to play it now, how hard can it be? Location: Hull, UK.

http://thisoldzithermandolinbanjo.blogspot.com/2015/01/nailed-it.html
Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration. My attempt to return an antique Zither Mandolin Banjo to a playable state. Saturday, 10 January 2015. The nail heads were too small for pliers so in the end I used a pair of concave Bonsai branch cutters to pull them out. Location: Hull, UK. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The chronicle of my attempts to restore a very old, and battered Zither Mandolin Banjo. The lineage of the banjo probably traces back to African instruments like the akonting. Test fitting the head.

Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration: Replacing all the brackets
http://thisoldzithermandolinbanjo.blogspot.com/2015/01/replacing-all-brackets.html
Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration. My attempt to return an antique Zither Mandolin Banjo to a playable state. Thursday, 29 January 2015. Replacing all the brackets. Clamping it in two tiny vices I started making a cut right along the length to give the rod a width of just over 5mm. The first Dremel cutting disc fell apart not very long after starting, the rest managed a few inches before they were too small to continue. The shiny new brackets were cut to size. I used a lot of metal cutting lubricatio...

Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration: Reattaching Neck and Tailpiece
http://thisoldzithermandolinbanjo.blogspot.com/2015/01/reattaching-neck-and-tailpiece.html
Zither Mandolin Banjo Restoration. My attempt to return an antique Zither Mandolin Banjo to a playable state. Thursday, 29 January 2015. Reattaching Neck and Tailpiece. Having painted and sealed the pot it was time to reattach the neck, tailpiece and the stud at the back which nobody seems to know the purpose of. Using a right angled torque screwdriver I reattached the neck. Messing about with difficult to reach slotted screws gives you a new appreciation for the crosshead screws. Location: Hull, UK.
