First edition. 20pp stapled booklet in light printed card covers. 16mo. Covers are toned around edges and a little soiled, gentle edge wear. Internally pages are a little age-toned else neat, clean and tight.
An expose which challenges the presumption in favour of old makes and Italian makers of violins, and the lengths to which some will go to make new instruments appear old, with hints on how to detect such fraudulent instruments.
