About this title

Synopsis

The seventh in this readable, no-nonsense series, it has the same format as Violin Making, Step by Step (which is a prerequisite). It includes full size drawings for an elegant smaller (15-5/8 inches or 397 mm) viola, as well as information, photos and illustrations on a wide range of traditional and innovative viola styles, sizes, and other considerations. You can see photos of this viola on my web site.

The Strobel books for violin makers are professional, concise, and convenient, reflecting traditional, conservative, and artistic work. Some forty thousand sold, they are used internationally by student, amateur and professional makers in shops and schools, and referred to by manufacturers, sellers, users, and lovers of bowed instruments. High quality 8.5 by 11 in. paperbacks made to lie flat and last on your workbench.
