| Hi. My name is amir. I'm new here and in violin making. I need help, Because Im living in Iran and here my resources are very ambient. I need a violin making book. A free version. I have "Violin and Art of Its Construction" and "The art of Violin Design" but I thing they are not enough. Please help me. Is this books Enough for making a violin? Or I should get a book like "The art of violin making" or "Violin making Step by Step"? Is any free versions of this books? What should I do? Remember I cant Buy anything from internet, Because my country doesnt let me. |

Amir,
Is it that Iran doesn't permit you to have the book shipped to you? Or are the websites blocked entirely?
Sending you a private message.

Amir, Wow !! and double Wow!. It is hard to believe that you can not make a purchases with the internet. Wow! The more I learn, I am glad to be an American !!! I do wish you the best. I had a great time "finishing" my violin. Good luck.
I will be glad to help you. If you can get things shipped in, I will be glad to help. Let me know. Can your DVD players play "North American" or rather U.S.A. and Canadian formats on the DVD's ?? |

a DVD player is the machine that plays movies, it looks like the compact disk that goes into your computer. but the DVD machine hooks up to your television to watch movies. there are many "movies" or rather instructional videos that can help to teach you to make a violin. do you have such a machine that hooks up to your television to play movies ?? Do you know if your machine that you put the movie disk into, to watch movies on your television, will the machine play movies made in the United States / Canada format. Europe uses a different format and the movies are not interchangable.
Where are you originally from, you English is quite good, especially for someone that has only lived in Iran. |

Hi Amir,
I guess I am not understanding what it is that you are looking for.
In the pdf library site that I posted the link to, there are all sorts of free downloadable pdf files which describe all sorts of aspects of violin making.
For instance: Violin making templates and forms by well known luthier Michael Darnton, Tools and basic sharpening, and Violin Making by Walter Mayson. These are all very good reading, contain a lot of information and can be downloaded onto your own computer in pdf format for viewing at a later date.
Regards....Tony |

Dear Bill, I dont have a DVD player. But I think my PC can run it.
And about language, I started to learn English when I was just 6. Its because My English Is good.
Dear Tony, that page you sent me had Some books that didnt help me. Maybe it doesnt work in Iran. Maybe that site blocked Iran's IP. |

Do you know anybody from Iran that travels to the west? Perhaps you could get them to pick up a Johnson and Courtnall Art of Violin Making book for you.
It's sad to see a government that discourages and crushes such a harmless activity. Could you make some special application to the government? Will Iran accept shipments from Afghanistan?
I have a friend here originally from Iran, Perhaps he might have some ideas.

Get someone like Sarah Palin in power and you'll be thinking about Iran as a land of freedom and opportunity.
It's amazing how often we come so dangerously close to falling back into a violent, primitive culture.
