...restorers should move carefully, choosing their procedural plans and the techniques to be used so as to preserve not only the evidence they recognize but the more complex evidence that future studies will wish to derive from future techniques of investigation (John Barnes)
The restorer is responsible for the object under his care though this is not yet completely understood and musical instruments are often repaired with standards that lead to the loss of their historical and musical integrity.
A person that is restoring a musical instrument must be an organologist with great knowledge and direct experience of original building methods so that nothing in his work is due to improvisation.
