Description

Following the huge success of the first volume of The Best of Trade Secrets, the second appeared in 2012. Like the first, its 120 fully illustrated pages are filled with innovative and practical methods for all parts of the making process, including form and construction, necks, scrolls, fingerboards, varnish and even bow making. It includes contributions by Guy Rabut, David Burgess and Francis Kuttner and makes an essential addition to any stringed instrument maker’s library.

For a limited time only, The Strad is issuing the first in the In Focus series with a beautiful, new limited edition cover. This collection of articles from The Strad’s long-running In Focus series brings together more than 80 fascinating stringed instruments, with commentaries by some of today’s top instrument experts. Makers include Antonio Stradivari, Guarneri ‘del Gesù’ and G.B. Guadagnini, but also lesser-known masters such as Paul Knorr, Dante Baldoni, Charles Nicolas Altermatt and many others. This makes it an essential resource for anyone seeking to extend their lutherie knowledge into areas and makers whose work is more rare, and a significant addition to the lutherie literature. In Focus features exceptional high-quality photographs for every featured instrument – front, back and scroll – this book will provide inspiration for today’s makers and anyone who enjoys the beauty and variety of stringed instruments.
