Item description from seller

9 1/2" x 6 1/4", xii, 245 pages, text illustrations, list for further reading. 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. Assuming no scientific background, this unique book explains not only how a violin produces sound but also of how that sound causes what we hear. Drawing on extensive experience as a performer and composer, Beament includes down-to-earth advice on strings, maintenance, purchase, and children's instruments. Hb, fine in dw, some fading to spine of dw, otherwise a near fine copy.
