From classical to country, from jazz to rock and even rap, the violin has always been a popular choice for the versatile virtuoso. One of the millions of people who have drawn a bow across the strings of the violin was an English polymath, writer, scientist, and all-around fascinating man Edward Heron-Allen. His love of the violin led to a friendship with renowned violin maker Georges Chanot III, and to a lifelong obsession with crafting the perfect instrument. A true Renaissance man, Edward Heron-Allen published this tribute to his favorite musical instrument over 130 years ago and, like the violin, its still an unrivaled classic.Whether youre a fresh-faced music student, a classically trained maestro, or if you simply enjoy fiddling along on the front porch, this guide offers: - An in-depth look at the history of the violin - A fascinating, and often surprising, discussion of the materials that make up the violin - A step-by-step guide to constructing your own violin - from selecting the materials to playing that very first note Details ISBN1635610524 ISBN-10 1635610524 ISBN-13 9781635610529 Format Paperback Year 2017 Imprint Echo Point Books & Media Subtitle As It Was and Is: Being a Historical, Theoretical, and Practical Treatise on the Science and Art of Violin-Making for the Use of Violin Makers and Players, Amateur and Professional Publisher Echo Point Books & Media Publication Date 2017-11-15 Pages 396 Illustrations 189 Illustrations Short Title Violin-Making Language English UK Release Date 2017-11-15 Author Edward Heron-Allen Edition Description Reprint ed.
