A Cello Falls Apart

A Princeton University student brought her cello to me in this condition. She had left it in her dry dorm room near a heat source and the instrument fell apart. The seams had dried out and opened up, and a piece cracked and fell off. I was able to glue the piece back on, add cleats to the repair, and reassemble the instrument to bring it back to full playing condition.
