Excerpt from The Fiddle Fancier''s Guide: A Manual of Information Regarding Violins, Violas, Basses and Bows of Classical and Modern Times Together With Biographical Notices and Portraits of the Most Famous Performers on These Intruments
The Reader who may be interested in the subject of this Guide will, I hope, find the contents of the book to be of some value to him - how much, if any, more than usual, is not for me to say. I think, however, I may, without egotism, state that there is-hardly a maker of any import ance, from the earliest to the latest, about whom, or about whose work, something fresh in the matter of descriptive detail may not be gleaned from these pages, while a very large number of the more ordinary class of craftsmen have had certain points of their work briefly elucidated in a manner calculated to be helpful for purposes of identification.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book guides violinists and enthusiasts through the history of the violin and its bow, from their earliest versions to their development in great centers such as Brescia and Cremona. The author challenges traditional understandings of violin history, with evidence suggesting the bow and violin were likely used together earlier than was previously believed. As early as the 10th century, the violin had evolved considerably, with this book providing translated historical accounts that describe bowed instruments played with a violin-like bow. The author thoroughly examines classical violin makers, including the Amati family, known for their superior craftsmanship and the reddish-brown varnish that characterizes their work.
