Tables on the Evolution of Strings in the Violin Family

- string by string for the first time the story told from the perspective of each single string- a practical guide so you can easily answer to the question: which string is the correct one?- historical evidences from valuable treatises as well as pictures never published beforeThe perspective of the string is the key: It is commonly known when an innovation was generally introduced: for example, we all know that the wound strings were introduced at the end of the 17th century. Why they were adopted is the subject of deeper considerations on organology, music taste, music life of the period, or even economic issues...Despite all these researches, often the link to the use of strings we make today is missing: if the wound strings were already available, can I use them as 3rd strings in 19th-century music? Why not?This book is offering material to answer this kind of questions.It really doesn't matter whether you will or will not decide to try a pure gut 4th after reading this. The consciousness of which strings were used and why will be whispering in your ears while practising suggesting you colours and helping you to find your unique voice.When we are still uncertain if the sound was this or that, it is difficult to be convincing and gain attention.But when we know, we can consciously decide what we like, and this will make a significant difference.The difference from depending on other people's judgement and taste or being happy about our efforts.Being happy is a good achievement in itself, but as a starting point, it also leads to being more consistentin our research for our unique voice, so to be more appreciated. ...and you get the point here, don't you? Being more appreciated means more job, more gratifications, more money...This is why I am happy to offer this book.When I first had the idea of it, I was excited because it instantly gave me a clear direction in my personal research of sound. Now finally I can offer this to you, and I am looking forward to being in touch and share our experiences.
