Commonsense Instrument Care: How to Look After Your Violin, Viola or Cello, and Bow

Rating:
Summary: Know your instrument
Review: I found this book to be a solid work that would be at home on any beginning string player's shelf, or even someone who has been playing for a few years. Though short, I found it to be useful, especially for someone like myself who has never played a string instrument. It explains not just how to care for your instrument, but why the things that you should do are so important. More importantly, it tells you what NOT to do. I think that anyone but the most advanced players can glean a great deal of information from this book.
