The Art of Violin Making is a major new work for the craftsman, bringing into one volume a summary of essential information for the violin maker and player, as well as providing an historical reference. Part One: The Violin Makers is devoted to separate chapters on the life and work of some of the greatest of all violin makers; the families of Amati, Stradivari and Guarneri, and the unique genius of Jacob Stainer. These chapters include superb color photographs of examples of their work. Also included is a chapter covering the work of some leading contemporary violin makers. Part Two: The Workshop, Tools and Materials provides essential information on the tools, working environment and material needed by violin makers.

This section is highly illustrated with photographs, and even the newcomer to this fascinating craft will be able to produce a superb instrument.

Violin Authentication - Violin Authentication is the process of determining the maker and date of a violin. This is often employed to combat fraudulent practices such as violin forgery and other forms of misrepresentation.

Violin octet - The violin octet is a family of stringed instruments developed in the 20th century primarily under the direction of Carleen Hutchins; each instrument is based directly on the traditional violin and shares its acoustical properties, with the goal of a richer and more homogenous sound. Unlike the standard modern stringed instruments, the main resonance of the body of the violin octet instrument is at a pitch near the two middle open strings, giving the instruments a more balanced, clearer sound.

Baroque violin - A Baroque violin is, in common usage, any violin whose neck, fingerboard, bridge, and tailpiece are of the type used during the baroque period. Such an instrument may be an original built during the baroque and never changed to modern form; or a modern replica built as a baroque violin; or an older instrument which has been converted (or re-converted) to baroque form.

Violin Concerto (John Adams) - Written in 1993 by the American composer John Adams, the Violin Concerto is commonly accepted as more sophisticated than conventional minimalist works. In it, the solo voice is almost unceasing as the violin weaves through the orchestra, which serves primarily as a backdrop for the violin.
