Description

"The Art of Violin Making" is the major work for the craftsman, bringing into one volume a summary of essential information for the violin maker and player, as well as providing a historical reference.

Part One: The Violin Makers is devoted to separate chapters on the life and work of some of the greatest of all violin makers; the families of Amati, Stradivari and Guarneri, and the unique genius of Jacob Stainer.

These chapters include superb colour photographs of examples of their work.

Also included is a chapter covering the work of some leading contemporary violin makers.

Part Two: The Workshop, Tools and Materials provides essential information on the tools, working environment and material needed by violin makers.

Part Three: Violin Construction comprises a detailed, step-by-step guide to the traditional method of violin making, based closely on the teaching system employed at the world-famous Newark School of Violin Making in England.
