My copy of  the book ‘The best of trade secrets’  arrived recently. It’s a collection of articles from the ‘Trade Secret’ section of the British monthly magazine – ‘the Strad’.

The topics cover a broad range of violin making techniques and some restoration methods. An article I wrote on reinforcing necks first published in ‘the Strad’ was included.  The 150 page book is available from ‘the Strad Library’.  Click here.
