Reviews
Michael Pagliaro has valiantly attempted to encapsulate the whole history of the stringed-instrument family into a 200-page volume., "This volume offers a great deal of information for new and seasoned string-instrument owners. There is a very brief history of string instruments, discussing their predecessors and development. Half the book focuses on descriptive aspects of string instruments: how they work, different kinds of string instruments (based on time period or body style), and information on the makers. The second half is instructional for current or potential string-instrument players: how to buy or rent the instruments; their basic care; the science of their sound; accessories one might need; and a 'diary' for players to keep track of repairs, maintenance, and so forth. The information is useful and well researched." -- Booklist "Michael Pagliaro has valiantly attempted to encapsulate the whole history of the stringed-instrument family into a 200-page volume." -- Stringendo, This volume offers a great deal of information for new and seasoned string-instrument owners.
