A high-quality and welcome addition to the study of modern violin making. The authors bring to life a man whose personality has been shrouded in mystery and yet ranks as one of the most significant violin makers of the 20th century. Fagnola made his reputation as a clever copyist of the earlier Turin makers. However, once his reputation as a craftsman became established, he made instruments of the highest quality that reflected his own character: it is for the best of these that history will rate him highly.
Hardback. 257pp; colour illustrations of 24 instruments.
