About this book
The Repairing & Restoration of Violins, by Horace Petherick, deals with the repair and restoration of violins. The author says the faculties, skill and experience directed on the restoration of a violin differ from those exercised by the first constructor. The author also treats temporary alleviation of symptoms as a problem frequently arising when there is no fiddle physician within beck or call.
Among the most frequent simple ailments of the fiddle tribe is chattering or jarring, caused mostly by some parts having become dis-united. The contents list names topics such as the proper sort of glue, cramps and joints, and rattles and jars. Advice on colour appears too: a very weak solution in water of bichromate of potash will lower the colour sufficiently for most purposes.
