PLEASE NOTE:
You must expect to see brown streaks in most lower priced fingerboards today. Even the best ebony will sometimes have less than perfect black.
We sell the finest now made from all around the world so you can be certain that what you receive is the best possible in that particular price
range. (All fingerboards listed above are from Germany, except those designated “Indian.”)

finishing information
STAINS AND PRIMERS
AN introduction to our varnishes:
If the unfinished instrument is to have a beautiful
basic color, it should be stained before varnishing. But
since the hardness of wood can vary, thus absorbing
the stain unevenly, it is recommended that the basic
instrument should be pre-treated first to ensure that
the color is attractively even.
Instructions for pre-treating
the wood
SPIRIT VARNISH
Spirit varnish has always been the varnish most commonly used for stringed instruments. It
dries quickly, thus allowing a daily coating. The varnish must be applied quickly, however, in
order to prevent the varnish from clouding, especially on color varnish. Every coat must be
thoroughly dried before the next coat is applied in order to prevent cracks from materializing
later. (Press hard on the varnish with your thumb for a few seconds. If it fails to make a print,
then you can apply the next coat.) Spirit varnish can be smoothed well with pumice stone or
rottenstone and polished.
PROPOLIS MIXED VARNISH
Dissolve about 30 g of gelatin powder in a liter of
warm water and then heat until the solution is clear
and thin. Apply the warm solution evenly with a bristle
brush, leave to dry completely and sand down very
carefully with a fine sandpaper. The various stains
described below can then be applied.
This is an Italian type varnish which, in spite of being a very soft varnish, dries well. After it
has been left to dry for a few days it polishes very well. As the name suggests this varnish
is partly made up of propolis and is particularly fine quality. Its natural color is an antique
yellow. This varnish should be smoothed with rottenstone and polished after it has dried
completely, at least 30 days.
Oil VARNISH, STANDARD QUALITY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION OF WATER-BASED STAINS
Water-based stains are available in some twenty
shades. Dissolve contents of the bag, following the
instructions on the label. To make the color lighter or
deeper, change the proportion of water used. Apply
the stain solution evenly to the cleanly sanded instruments using a sponge or brush. Wipe off excess stain
with a dry rag.
JOHA Antique stain #421
®
Stain #421 - antique gray-brown is a ready-mixed
oxidation stain. After application, the color changes
under the effect of air and daylight from being colorless to antique gray-brown. This stain is applied exactly
as described above. Once the required color has been
reached, gently sand with a fine sandpaper and apply
one coat of basic varnish. This prevents further modification of the color. Ideally, one should carry out a test
stain and varnish to see what the final result will be,
since the colors will vary with different types of wood.
This stain particularly draws out timber rings.
JOHA® stain #423 &
JOHA® stain #402 M
Stain #402 M is a rich brown, ready-made stain which
should be used if a dark instrument is required. Stain
#423 is a ready-made orange stain made from natural
dyes. Use as water-based stains.
This varnish applies very well. It should be diluted a bit with balsam turpentine (the thinner
that is listed with the oil varnishes), despite the fact that it takes a little longer to dry. (Test
this also with your thumb to see if it is dry.) Contrary to popular opinion, in the long run, this
varnish actually becomes somewhat harder than spirit varnish. You can smooth this varnish
with pumice stone or rottenstone and work it to a gentle shine with polish and oil.
VOLATILE OIL VARNISH
An outstanding oil varnish made with balsams and volatile oils which dries much faster than
normal oil varnishes. As a result, however, it is not as easy to apply as normal oil varnish.
Because it contains propolis, it stays elastic for a long time and allows the wood to vibrate
properly. However, this means that volatile oil varnish may remain sensitive to heat and
pressure even after years. After the last coat has dried (thirty days to six weeks) the volatile
oil varnish can be smoothed with tripoli powder and polished.
RETOUCHING VARNISH
This is ideal for repairing damaged varnish on musical instruments. It is made using selected
resins and a special solvent, thus providing excellent adhesion to damaged areas. In order
to achieve better cover, retouching varnish has a slightly stronger color. The composition of
this special varnish means it is ideal for repairs both to spirit and oil varnishes. The special
thinner must be used with the retouching varnish. All colors can be mixed with each other.
This varnish should be thickly dabbed or applied to the area to be repaired; leave to dry
completely and then sand smooth to match the remaining varnish.
COLOR EXTRACT
Color extract is a liquid, light-resistant, transparent color for tinting colorless varnishes,
although it can also be used with all other spirit, oil and synthetic resin varnishes. The colors
can be mixed with each other, so that any desired shade may be matched. The liquid may be
added directly to the varnish. This color extract is superior to spirit and oil soluble powders
as it is much more resistant to light.

“old wood” products
These finishing products are causing quite a stir among
discerning luthiers and woodworking craftsmen. Based
upon the original recipes of the old Italian violin-makers,
the 1700 System utilizes grounds to prepare the wood, then
a special varnish used in tandem with its organic pigment
glaze to give the wood a rich, beautiful finish. Made in
Spain. Packaged in attractive wooden boxes.
N E W ! !
WHY SHOULD YOU BUY THE OLD WOOD 1700 SYSTEM?
1. ADDS VALUE TO THE INSTRUMENT - the 1700 system provides the instrument with an elegant and extraordinary look, adding
depth, tone, and a dichromatic effect, enhancing the wood.
2. SAVES TIME - Everything needed to finish the instrument is right here! Also, no milling of colors (hours saved!)
3. RELIABILITY - Homogeneous results, every time - no color variations.
4. COST-PERFORMANCE RATIO - when properly used, the cost of the Old Wood 1700 system is generally between 1% and 5% of
the total cost of the instrument! See below for how many instruments can be finished with one 60 cc bottle of:
Italian Golden Ground - 10 violins; Imprimature - 6 violins; Doratura - 8 violins;
any Oil Natural Color - 10-11 violins; Varnish - 5 violins.
WE HAVE USED THIS SYSTEM IN OUR OWN SHOP, WITH TREMENDOUS RESULTS!!

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:
Since we do not finish instruments ourselves, our knowledge of techniques, formulas, etc. is necessarily “second hand”,
and we do not feel qualified to give advice. There are several excellent books on this subject which we can recommend and
they are:
• Violin Varnishes by Hammerl. They make the products! (see pg. 304)
• Varnishes and the Most Curious Secrets. Cremona 1747. First English translation of this 1747 varnish recipe collection
from Cremona. (pg. 302)
• Sections of Art and Method of the Violinmaker, Violinmakers Notebook, and Violin Making Step by Step books by Henry
Strobel also contain worthwhile varnishing information. (pg. 308)
All these books, plus many more (new edition of The Secrets of Stradivari by Sacconi available now, which has information
about these matters, pg. 307) are available from us. Please look in the book section of this catalog.
