Book Reviews of Violin-Making: A Historical and Practical Guide
Book Review: Classic Edition Still Holds Up Under Scrutiny Of Modern Methods
Summary: 4 Stars
Short review here...
Violin making has an aura of old-world must and dust surrounding it, doesn't it? When I became interested in luthiery, that ancient aspect really appealed to me. "Seek your information at the source" said a voice inside of my mind. I proceeded to buy every modern book on stringed instrument making I could afford; the glossy pictures and to-the-point captions mke them a good bathroom read, but shallow they are, and I get the feeling that the time honored and tested methodology was meant to remain a secret. NOT SO with this "...Practical Guide". It is written with that early 20th Century algebra manual complexity spliced into the rather personable writing style of the author. Excellent history is the name of the game, and how it applies to the "current" mode of instrument creation. Highly recommended.
