Tumba Repair

Sitar Factory Posted on Monday, 21 August 2006 by AnandaFriday, 22 September 2023

This tumba has been broken into many pieces. I counted more than 20 crack lines.

An early attempt by the owner to repair this wasn’t very succesfull.

So, here we go :

Session 1 : Opening the cracks, adding glue and fixing zone 1
