DESCRIPTION
This original era book is
must-have for anybody interested in rare old stringed musical instruments.
This catalog contains Stradivarius, this one from from the Partello collection. This is the first time in an American Catalog that a strictly first class Stradivari violin was offered, one with undoubted authenticity. It is thought to be a companion to the well known Tuscan Stradivari.
Also listed in this book are instructions by Michael Angelo Bergonzi, Nicolas Lupot, Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, Antonius and Hieronymus Amati, Dominicus Montagnana, Gio. Baptiste Ruggeri, Nicolo Amati, Francesco Stradivari, and many other makers.
This catalog also contains violas, violincellos, bows.
All of these violins cost a small fraction of what they would cost to acquire today.
All Dancing Eye Books items are packed with care to assure their safe arrival to you.
Thank you for looking
