Ebony? African Blackwood is what my neighbor uses. He said that the Janka is higher. Janka? What the hell is he talking about. He has all manner of string instruments hanging in his shop. He's a genius or something. Crazy, really. He's old and crazy. Always building instruments with smelly glue pots. Is he right in what he says?
You won't even fix the bridge? You're a snob. Silly talk about ebony and silly talk about students learning. You're just a repairman. That's all. Do your job.
@@alext8828 Are you suggesting I have no obligation to the client ethically? I dare say that type of outlook is what makes this a difficult world so I choose to live differently. I’d suggest my job includes helping the player succeed and if success is not possible after my “repair,” then I have an obligation to help by abstaining. Sorry you disagree and feel I should gouge this person the way the manufacturer has. Good luck in life.
@@repairmasterclass Why is that gouging. I need to see the video again, but I thought it was a simple job. Worth $25 at the most. I just watched the video again. What's the complaint? Fix the bridge? Fix what? It's dirty and you said the feet don't conform to the shape of the top plate. But what does the customer want? I don't know how you could gouge the customer with that. Unless you prices are too high. Run the bridge over some fine sandpaper and ignore the feet. $25! Next!

@@alext8828 I’d suggest the materials are one in the same.
@@repairmasterclass If they're the same, why the need to only use ebony?
@@repairmasterclass African blackwood is different than ebony. Its slightly denser, and slightly harder than ebony.
