From the mundane to the magnificent, violin cases span the centuries and reflect the cultural values and aspirations of the times and societies that produced and used them.
In this republication of his pioneering book devoted to violin cases, Dr Glenn Wood reveals the diversity of craft skills that have gone into their production and how these have evolved over the last four centuries.
Now updated and refreshed to reflect the growing interest in these treasured collectibles, this reference work of scholarly research is available in eBook and hard cover versions in addition to the traditional soft cover.
