In 'The Violin: Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators', author George Hart delves into the early history, construction, and Italian school of the iconic instrument. Beginning with the instrument's mysterious origins in the annals of history and early evidence of bowed instruments in northern Europe, Hart provides detailed analyses of the components of the violin and the methods used by the great makers of Cremona and Brescia. He also explores the importance of strings and Italian varnish, delving into the work of individual Italian makers such as Andrea Amati, Niccolò Amati, and Stradivari. For anyone seeking a comprehensive history of the violin and its makers, 'The Violin' is an essential read.
Excerpt from The Violin: Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Nearly the whole of the extracts to which the reader's attention has been directed were given to me as far back as the year 1875, when the original edition of this work was in the press. Finding it impossible to make adequate use of them, in consequence of the volume being partly printed, I decided to insert a few items at the end of the notice of Antonio Stradivari, and to hold over the remainder in order to distribute the information among the notices of the several makers in a future edition.
