After conducting a series of tests in our luthier laboratories, we were very satisfied with the results obtained. Firstly, we found that the Grinepro sandarac resin is a high-quality product, which comes in a solid and transparent resin form. Its consistency makes it easy to apply to the surface of the objects to be protected, and its ability to harden quickly ensures long-term protection. In addition, the transparency of the resin does not alter the natural color of the wood and preserves its beauty. Secondly, we tested the Grinepro sandarac resin for the preparation of varnishes and lacquers. We found that this product has excellent solubility capacity, which means that it can be easily diluted in solvents such as alcohol or turpentine essence for the creation of high-quality varnishes and lacquers. The resin also contributes to giving a greater shine and protection to varnishes and lacquers, ensuring a durable and resistant finish. Finally, Grandi Liutai greatly appreciated the versatility of the Grinepro sandarac resin. This product can be used not only for the protection of furniture and musical instruments but also for the creation of craft and decorative objects, such as frames or boxes. Its ability to preserve the natural color of the wood and to provide a shiny and resistant finish makes it an essential tool for every craftsman. In conclusion, our evaluation of the <strong>Grinepro sandarac resin</strong> is extremely positive. Its high quality, ease of use, and versatility make it an essential product for every luthier or craftsman. We highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to protect, decorate, or varnish wooden objects.</p>

    <p>These carving tools are hand forged from special high carbon tool steel. This complicated and expensive process is the basis of the quality and durability for which the Grandi Liutai Italiani tools are known. The tools are hardened to RC61 and are mirror polished to facilitate subsequent sharpening and prevent rust.</p> <p> the overall length of each gouge is from 24 to 26 cm. The wider gouges are often used with mallets, and are stronger to withstand repeated blows. The octagonal white birch handles are sized according to the shape of the gouge, and are wrapped in metal rings to prevent cracking or breaking .</p> <p>The thickness of these gouges is much higher than those of any other brand on the market, and this is a very important factor for artisans who like to have sturdy and always perfectly sharp carving tools.</p>

Our hide glue is specially produced for making musical instruments.</p> <p></p> <h3>Purchase Luthier's Glue</h3> <p>This Nikawa glue in grains is produced in Japan according to the ancient Japanese tradition.</p> <h3>Our evaluation of the Japanese glue NIKAWA</h3> <p><strong>Grandi Liutai</strong> evaluated the use of Japanese NIKAWA glue - 100 g as an adhesive for the restoration of antique artifacts and found this to be a high-quality product. We assessed that its specialty lies in its ability to create a strong bond between different surfaces, ensuring greater stability of the artwork. Our company tested the Japanese NIKAWA glue on a wide range of materials, including wood, paper, fabrics, and metals, and found that its adhesion is exceptionally strong and durable over time. We observed that the Japanese NIKAWA glue is easily reversible, meaning it can be removed easily without leaving any residue or permanent damage to the treated objects. Another positive feature of the Japanese NIKAWA glue, according to our evaluation, is its ability to adapt easily to different applications, thanks to its modifiable consistency based on specific needs. We believe its easy manipulation makes it ideal for the restoration of antique artifacts, where precision and flexibility are essential. We noted that using the Japanese NIKAWA glue requires a certain level of skill and attention in preparation and application, as temperature and humidity can affect its adhesion and drying time. In our opinion, the Japanese NIKAWA glue has a slightly higher cost compared to other types of adhesives, but its value in the field of antique artifact restoration makes it an important investment. In summary, our <strong>evaluation of Japanese NIKAWA glue - 100 g is excellent</strong>! It is a high-quality product that offers numerous advantages for the restoration of antique artifacts. Its strong adhesion, reversibility, easy manipulation, and ability to adapt to different applications make it an ideal choice for the restoration of objects made of wood, paper, fabrics, and metals.

    <h2 class="MsoNormal"><span>Amber for the preparation of oil paints</span></h2> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The <strong>Amber Colophony</strong> is prepared by exposing Amber to a short-term temperature which occurs in vacuum, coupled with the simultaneous separation of the gaseous and liquid elimination products, results in the formation of a particularly high-quality rosin which is free from extraneous substances and is particularly suitable for the production of oil varnishes. </span><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">The reaction takes place at 300-450 Celsius.</span></p> <h3 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">It is above all indicated for the production of high quality varnishes in lutherie</span></h3> <h3>Our evaluation on the use of <strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-size:11px;">At </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">Grandi Liutai</strong><span style="font-size:11px;">, we have </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">evaluated the use</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> of</span><strong style="font-size:11px;"> amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> and found that its main function is to confer greater resistance and hardness to the paint, while also improving its adhesion. However, the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints presents some unique characteristics. Firstly, it is necessary to have a reliable source of high-quality amber, as its purity and properties can vary significantly. We have found that the processing of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can be complicated and require the use of specialized equipment. Despite these disadvantages, we have seen that the use of pyrolyzed amber can bring numerous advantages in the preparation of high-quality oil paints.

In addition, </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can improve the transparency and brightness of the paint, giving paintings a more vibrant and brilliant appearance.

    <p>Blocks are important elements in the construction of violas, playing a crucial role in the structure and optimization of the instrument's sound. Blocks can be made from different types of wood, but the most common are spruce and willow.</p> <p>Spruce blocks are often used in violas because this type of wood has good resistance and uniform density, allowing for the even transmission of string vibrations.</p> <p>Willow is known for its flexibility and strength, making it an excellent choice for violin blocks. Additionally, willow has the ability to transmit vibrations evenly, allowing for better response to lower notes.</p> <p>The choice of one or the other depends on the preferences of the luthier and the desired sound result.</p>
