How to Make a Violin is a classic instructional written by author John Broadhouse on the art and craft of violin construction. This text is now available to the modern reader interested in constructing a musical instrument.
How to Make a Violin is a strictly practical work. While the introduction briefly touches on the history of the instrument and some of the theory surrounding it, Broadhouse focuses his work almost entirely on the actual construction of the instrument. The opening chapters introduce the different parts of a violin, the types of wood available to luthiers, and the various models on which a craftsman can base their design. The middle chapters focus on the construction of the various parts of the violin, from the back and the belly to the neck and the fingerboard, every part of the instrument is detailed. The book concludes with several chapters on finishing and varnishing your violin, as well as a brief chapter on the remaining accessories for a violin.
Whether you are genuinely interested in designing and building your own violin, or are simply intrigued by learning about the principles behind instrument construction, How to Make a Violin is a worthy read. Broadhouse is both entertaining and informative, and has created a reference book that stands the test of time.
