Geigenbauschule Mittenwald 1977-1981

Description

This book contains reproductions of the handwritten notes taken by master violin maker Andreas Zimmermann while attending the violin making school in Mittenwald, Germany. The notes contain step-by-step descriptions of how to make a violin, from the initial marking of the wood to the final application of the strings. The final section of Zimmermann’s notes details varnishing techniques and the properties of various resins and dyes as well as important techniques for repairing stringed instruments and bows. Numerous precisely drawn sketches give the reader a clearer picture of many steps of the techniques described.
