Snapped off

Corner repairs are easy, the tricky part is to match the purfling. When this beautiful Davide Tecclher cello came in with a missing corner I realized I had to make a piece of the missing purfling. I looked everywhere for a piece to match, but I could find none. The black-white-black layers were about the same size, in some spots with the white being thinner. The corner went missing because of an old repair that failed. I had worked on this cello previously and went back to look at pictures of what the corner looked like before. To my relief it had already been repaired, which perhaps made the work mora challenging.
