Produced by Ron Swanson
"The Repairing & Restoration of Violins" by Horace Petherick is a technical manual written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intricate process of repairing and restoring violins, outlining various techniques, tools, and materials necessary for preserving these delicate instruments. The subject matter is aimed at both amateurs and professionals in the field of violin repair, providing insights gleaned from Petherick's extensive experience and expertise. At the start of the text, the author introduces the historical significance of violin making, particularly highlighting the artistry that originated in Italy and the evolution towards restoration practices as the availability of quality instruments diminishes. He notes that the myriad types of damages violins sustain over time necessitate a detailed understanding of repairs, from minor glue applications to extensive wood replacements. The opening chapters establish a foundation for practical advice, emphasizing the importance of skillful craftsmanship, the use of appropriate adhesives, and methods for maintaining the acoustic integrity of these cherished instruments.
