Markneukirchen Violins And Bows by Bruce Babbitt

Markneukirchen Violins and Bows by Bruce Babbitt

This modern anthology and reference book includes in-depth historical information of the violin and bow makers of the late 19th and Early 20th Centuries in the Saxon and Bohemian Musikwinkel. With hundreds of pages of photographs in full color, it features some of the finest violins and bows produced by masters of that region during a time when the mass production of by-the-dozen violins was common. Each canvas-bound hardcover book is one of 1000 numbered limited editions, and includes a beautifully printed dust jacket and a gray protective sleeve. The set also accompanied by a 2014 Revised Edition of Violin-Making in the Musikwinkel of Bohemia and Saxony and in Markneukiechen and Bubenruth Today, which was dedicated to the 40th Anniversary of the Violin Society of America in 2012, and includes an additional 28 pages of historical information and a list of present members of the string instrument guilds of Bubenruth and Markneukirchen. This set is a wonderful resource for collectors, luthiers, and fine violin enthusiasts.
