This is my book about how to build a violin from scratch
One of my favorite hobby is violinmaking and I decided to translate into English the book I've wrote and bublish it on my site.
I'll do publush about 50% of each chapter for free and I can send the rest of each chapter for $1 by email. If after reading of my book you'll have questions I can also publish the reply as addition to the chapter.
