Peruse Tipbook - Violin And Viola: The Best Guide To Your Instrument Originated By Hugo Pinksterboer Format Physical Edition
so this isn't really a cover to cover read, but I have browsed all the way through, and referred to it several times, I loved it a lotwhen I first got it, but now that I have lived with it and several stringed instruments for a while I wish it had a little more about troubleshooting.
I needed an emergency fix for the bridge popping out and couldn't really tell from the illustrations which way to put it back in, This book was adequate when I was just a parent shopping for instruments and accessories, but not as much now that I need to DIY quick fixes.
