Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the Construction of the Violin
IT is one of the marvels of the age that for the last two cen tuties no improvement whatever has been found possible in the construction of the violin.
The apparent simplicity of its structure sometimes gives rise to the idea that there is almost a reproach to science in the fact that so little is known concerning the principles of the instrument; that there is in fact no theory of the violin worthy of the name.
