Synopsis
Here is a totally new and expanded edition of the 2005 original. The new 6"x9" format offers string players at all levels essential information on auditioning and buying a new instrument, bow, and strings.

The books in this series will not teach beginning musicians how to play-they are more for reference on the instruments they describe. Readers will find information on selecting an instrument, care and maintenance, practice tips, history, styles, and how to select learning and instructional resources. What sets these titles apart from most reference works on instruments is that absolute beginners will have easy access to tons of useful material. For older teens and adults.
