Chats on Violins.

By
OLGA RACSTER.

Fully Illustrated. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. net.

Under this title are grouped a series of pleasant chats telling the early history of the violin, and also dealing with all the better known forms of the violin. All the great makers, from Gaspar di Salo, Maggini, Amati, to Stradivarius are described, the whole being interspersed with many anecdotes about makers and players, and useful chapters on violin music and playing.

The pictures are delightfully uncommon, comprising as they do the representations of all the ancient members of the violin family from the ninth century. The whole work is full of interesting information and is written in a bright and unconventional manner.
