Little glue, some wood putty and it will be as good as new.

What the heck, there are a lot of pieces... a little bondo, some purple paint... what's not easy? You can get duct tape that color now, too.  |

I'd take a shot at buffing that out before I started butchering it up with a bunch of duct tape.

Nah, just put a sticker on that scratch, and nobody'll notice.  |

A jealous wife'll do stuff like that. He'll never mess around with the fiddle player again.

What make? Is it worth putting on a new side and back? Possible Gibson A model, not a Harmony, I don't see great gobs of glue around the braces.

That makes it easier to work on the inside.

A little duct tape, should do the trick.

SS Steward, could be several different makers. Regal/Harmony being one of them.

I suspect that the repair will exceed the instrument's value, but it might be paid for by insurance (an Irish airline damaged it) and it might be either a really good instrument worth saving, a treasured piece, or a mandola that would be more expensive to replace or find. |

If he'd have gone with the duct tape, he'd already be finished. But whatever.

Now that can see the front it looks like it may have been made by Lyon & Healy or early Regal.
