Fixing this nyckelharpa, it got some new strings and we fixed a few sticky keys. Willow was very helpful! #nyckelharpa #luthier #icanfixthat #instrumentrepair #shopdog #swedishfolkmusic #swedish #music #musicshop #berkeley

Two pre-war Martins: the one on the left was made in 1932 and the one on the right 1922. You can see the changes Martin made over those 10 years in the shape of the body, from 12 to 14 frets, the slotted head stock became solid and the bindings from mahogany to black (they also added a brace inside). #martinguitar #guitar #guitarist #prewarmartin #guitaristsofinstagram #music #musician #musicshop #musicshopsofberkeley #berkeley #berkeleybusiness @ Timbre Folk and Baroque

This is a Yougoslavian bra, a guitar shaped tamburitsa. Prewar instrument that was played a lot by a previous owner. Recently restored from a local storage unit! #restoration #tamburitsa #bra #yugolsavia #balkan #balkanmusic #timbrefolk #instrument #repairs #instrumentrepair #luthiery @ Timbre Folk and Baroque

We got our first two instruments from Mats Nordwall and are now the only US distributor of Nordwall instruments! This 12-string guitar and cittern are so amazing! This is the same guitar Roger Tallroth, of Väsen, plays! @tallrothr @nordwallinstrument #nordwallinstrument #väsen #swedishmusic #music #musician #12stringguitar #cittern #guitar @ Timbre Folk and Baroque

Pro tip: if you have a sticky Nyckelharpa key, use a pencil and get some graphite in the slot. It will help lubricate the slot #protip #nyckelharpa #folkmusic #luthiery #instrumentrepair #icanfixthat #music #musicalinstrument #worldmusic
