Ignaz Anton Lutz, an immigrant to the USA from Vienna around 1910. was a master violin and bow maker. This rare, slim volume offers his take on what makes a Stradivarius violin special - he was reputed to have taken his inspiration from a Stradivarius he owned - and how his own instruments built upon the mastery of Stradivari.
