I don’t have a video for this instrument yet. Until I make one, here is a short film that I commissioned in 2016 as part of the Yehudi Menuhin Centenary to help support Newark School of Violin Making, co-founded by him in 1972. If you would like to extend your support of the school, please like and share this video as the exposure is incredibly important in raising awareness of this precious institution.

George Hart, The Violin, It’s Famous Makers and their Imitators.
Dulau & Co. / Novello & Co, First Edition, 1881.

Hart’s work is overshadowed by Hill’s Antonio Stradivari His Life and Work, just as the Hill company eclipsed the short period in which Hart & Sons took a leading role in the London violin trade. However it is a satisfyingly clear and accurate account of the history of the violin, and it is pleasure to see how deeply it is research. This is a wonderful book which in my opinion still retains great value as a general history of the subject. It underwent a revised edition in 1884, and numerous reprints.
