Publisher Description: This famous book has the rare distinction of having been written by one family of distinguished violin-makers and experts -- the Hill family of London -- about another -- the legendary Guarneri family of Mantua, Cremona, and Venice. The Hills were unrivaled connoisseurs with a family tradition of violin-making, restoration, and scholarship. Several of their books form the basis of our knowledge of old stringed instruments. This generously illustrated volume offers both a history of the Guarneri family and a commentary on their craftsmanship. |
