Universal Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers by William HENLEY – Fine copy of first edition (1973)

Precio: 145 Euro
The famous reference work by William HENLEY – a must for amateurs, collectors and musicians.
It is still a widely cited book providing information on approx. 9,000 violin and bow makers. The work is based on the extensive notes of violinist and composer William HENLEY (1874–1957). HENLEY studied with August WILHELMJ, and later became a professor of composition and principal of the violin at the Royal Academy in London. Having played violins from many manufacturers, HENLEY sought to compile a comprehensive list evaluating violin and bow makers.
The book was the first to include a significant number of American craftsmen. HENLEY traveled extensively as a performer, primarily with his quartet. It was during his trips, including a supposed trip to America during the 1920s, that HENLEY gathered information for his book.
