Museum in Cremona, which give a complete image of a violinmaker, so important yet attentive to all details concerning his

activity. This publication, dedicated to Stradivari‟s lesser known production, is meant to explain the importance and the history

Text in German and English.:


The Violin Market: The Violinists Guide to Instrument by John Huber, Edition Bochinsky, 1995: The Violin Market represents

the viewpoint of the user/buyer or violinist. Instead of studying a market whose economic structure is based upon the

perceived artistic merits of production, the artistic needs of the user are considered. The book is intended:

- to present market values and classification principles

- to aid the violinist to understand his needs and measure his resources, and

- to apply this information to guide the selection of a suitable instrument.

The book begins by examining the structure of the violin, and goes on to consider instrument classifications (student,

orchestral, and soloist violins and bows) are then appraised, and advice is given to aid making purchase decisions.

The book is illustrated with colour reproductions of fine violins (32 full colour-pages). Text in German and English..


Italian violinmaking tradition - A Swedish response to the challenge, by John Huber, Edition Bochinsky, 2005: The violin

market presupposes vast differences between violins, which from the audience viewpoint before an orchestra, can appear to be

quite similar. On what are these market distinctions based? Can modern makers hope to approximate the quality of the famous

makers of the past? What is important to the violinmaker? This study, of the work of a very successful Swedish violinmaker,

Peter Westerlund, offers an opportunity to consider some of these questions in relation to his production and development.

Grundlagen der Geige und des Geigenbaues, by André Roussel, Edition Bochinsky, Dieses Lehr- und Handbuch beschreibt Bau,

Funktion und Gesetzmäßigkeit der Instrumente der Geigenfamilie, ihrer Bauteile und des Zubehörs. Der renommierte

französische Geigenbaumeister André Roussel schöpft aus seinen über Jahrzehnte hinweg betriebenen wissenschaftlichen

Studien zur Theorie des Geigenbaus, für die dem praktischen Geigenbauer in der Regel keine Zeit bleibt. Er erklärt vor allem

die theoretischen Grundlagen und Funktionen in anschaulich bildhafter Weise und schafft es, die praktischen Handgriffe des

Geigenbauers mit Gesetzen für Leistung, Klangqualität und Ansprache des Instruments zu untermauern.

Von besonderem Wert für Künstler, Musiker und Geigenbauer sind alltagstaugliche Hinweise zur Regulierung, zur Behebung

von Baufehlern und zum Vorgehen bei Veränderungen des Instruments durch Feuchtigkeit.


Die Geige, by Sourène Arakélian, Edition Bochinsky, 2006: Über Geigen- und Geigenbautechnik ist im Laufe der letzten

Jahrzehnte eine ganze Reihe von Werken veröffentlicht worden. Für den Fachmann war aber trotzdem das Erscheinen der

Arbeit von Sourene Arakelian - eines iranischen Geigenbaumeisters - eine Überraschung in mehrfacher Hinsicht: nicht nur die

Nationalität war überraschend, sondern vor allem die Haltung des Verfassers, der neue Erkenntnisse und "Werkstatt-

Geheimnisse" mitteilt, die einer Erprobung in der Werkstatt standhalten und sich zu ständiger Anwendung eignen.

Arakelian hat in dieser Publikation die Herstellung wirklicher Meistergeigen in den Blickpunkt gestellt, die auch ein erstmals

veröffentlichtes Lackrezept enthält.

Liuteri Sonadori, 1750-1870 (Violin Makers & Players of Venice), by Stefano Pio, Venice Research:

This new and surprising research on the less celebrated and less known Venetian and Veneto violin

makers is based entirely upon unedited documents drawn from Venice and Veneto archives. The book

contains fascinating biographical details and high-quality illustrations of violins, violas, cellos, and

double basses crafted by the following makers: Giorgio Serafin and his shop inherited from

Montagnana, Deconet, Busan, Ongaro, Molinari, Bellosio, Novello, Cerin, Bodio, Santagiuliana,

Pelizon, Pedrinelli, Corain, Chiocchi, Dollenz, Fabris and others.

The book also portrays the musical world of Venice, focusing on the close connections among makers

and players. One example is Dragonetti and his famous Gasparo da Salò double bass, for the first time issued in colour photos.

An appendix of authentic documents, hand-written by the principal makers of the age, reveals their work and the evolution of

the art of violin making in Venice from 1750 to 1810.


La Casa Nuziale: The Home of Antonio Stradivari 1667-1680, by Arnaldo Baruzzi (translated into English by Desmond Hill),

W. E. Hill & Sons, 1962: An interesting monograph about the house where Stradivari lived and worked from 1867-80.

Black/white plates show maps of Cremona, Italy, drawings and photos of La Casa Nuziale, archival records, and images of

several of Stradivari's instruments including the "Aranyi," the "Clisbee," and the "Hellier" violins, a viola, and a guitar.


The Violin: Its History and Making, by Karl Roy (assisted by Claire Curtis and Alvin Thomas King), 2006: A large and detailed

study of the history of the violin and violin making. Includes hundreds of hand-drawn figures. Karl Roy presents the violin in

relation to predecessor musical instruments starting with the harps of Ur, the flutes of ancient Egypt and the lires of classical

Greece. These instruments slowly developed into the many types of plucked and bowed instruments of the Medieval and early

Renaissance times. This history provides the backdrop for understanding the design and construction of the violin known

today. The text is richly illustrated with images of pictures and sculpture showing the various musical instruments.

Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of meticulous hand drawn figures, the book describes the process of violinmaking from the

selection of wood, through varnishing, and instrument setup. But this is no cookbook, with a step-by-step list of do‟s and

don‟ts. Instead, the focus is on understanding, then doing. As Karl Roy writes, “50% of the training is the training of the

eye.” So there is extensive discussion of why things are done and alternative procedures, along with their advantages and

disadvantages.

The text thoroughly discusses the preparation and application of violin varnish. An extensive glossary describes the many

resins, gums, and solvents that have been used for varnish and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages. Many recipes for

spirit, fatty oil, and etheric oil varnishes are included.

(A worldwide shipping & handling fee of $30 will be added when you check out.)
