Paperback. Throughout its history the violin has had a mystique with many curious beliefs. Physicists have now discovered how it produces its sound, though this knowledge is largely inaccessible to makers and players. This book explains how strings vibrate and the roles of the bow, bridge and body, glue and varnish, without assuming the reader has any scientific background. But physical sound is a poor indicator of the sensations it produces, and the core of the book explainshow that sound relates to the sensations we hear. This leads to the conclusion that most of the myths are groundless, but also that nothing can be achieved by applying any modern technology to makingor playing; indeed, it would be a disaster if that happened. Practical advice on strings, maintenance, purchase, and children's instruments conclude the discussion. This book offers an explanation, without assuming any scientific background, of how a violin produces sound, and of how that sound causes what we hear. This explodes many of the long-standing myths. It also shows there is no place for modern technology in making or playing. Practical advice for players and parents is included. This item is printed on demand.
