Violin Forum/Message Board

[Michael Darnton]

By the way, the Sandys and Forster book that they sell, http://store.doverpublications.com/0486452697.html , is a charmer, too. It's not at all about violins, but about the English violin making scene written from ground zero. Forster is of the famous violin making family, and he includes such stuff as lists of all the instruments they made, and assessments of many English makers. There's nothing in it about violin making, though, and the things about anything but English violin making fall into the same not-accurate category as from similar books.
