The Repairing & Restoration of Violins - Brand New Copy - An ancient writer once asserted that of making many books there is no end; had the violin been invented and used as far back as his day he might have added, and of repairs to violins, inasmuch as the number, nature, and variety of the damages that constantly occur and find their way into the presence of the repairer, are such as could not be counted and seemingly are endless.

The readers of the following pages will therefore not expect to find every possible ailment to which the violin is liable, mentioned and its appropriate remedy marked out.

If the more minute kinds of injuries are endless, they may yet be generalised under a limited number of headings, or in groups.

It is with the hope that a sufficient number has been treated of, and the way of meeting difficulties pointed out plainly enough to enable the intending practitioner to follow on in the same lines, that this work is placed before the public.

All the repairings referred to, have, with the accompanying annoyances and pleasures, been gone through by myself, and therefore the present little work may be taken as the result of personal experience and it is hoped may be acceptable to the readers.
