  This book is splendid, talking about the history,playing and the construction of Violins. This Book reveals secrets about the old Italian varnishes, eyewitness accounts of Paganini's performances, bow making, and Ideal thicknesses for places on the bridge. Also, a comparison of different f-holes, string making, bow holds, harmonics, how famous people tested thier strings,the "bach bow", and experiments conducted on the violin are also included.

  Answers the mail.

  This book answers the mail if what you need is knowledge of what a violin is, how it became, and how it is used. Provocative, this book goes beyond the usual "...violin evolved from the rebec..." and poses the theory that a violin was developed out of the desire for its timbre vice a straight-line evolution from other stringed instruments. For those with an insatiable appetite for knowledge on this instrument, I recommend this book. 5/5 0, October 9, 2008
