Adjusting and Repairing Violins, Cellos, &C e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first instrument to which I will devote my energies is an ordinary warehouse 'cello. It was purchased from a well-known London firm by one of my pupils for the sum of six guineas - not a high price, but still sufficiently high to demand attention. The tone on the bass strings is something like that which would be produced by a matchbox, While the A string is shrill and squeaking.
