READERS’ COMMENTS

Of major bonus is the fact that it emphasizes that all violins sound different with different types of equipment - it doesn’t say, “this is the best violin” or “this is the best string”.

... had I known about and read this book before buying, I would have been a much savvier buyer. It certainly pays for itself in helping you avoid the pitfalls that lack of experience harbors.

A wonderful reference.

A remarkably quick and easy read, yet with a good amount of detail.

A great value!

Money well spent before investing in the purchase of a new instrument.
