An introduction to sizing and proportion principles used in historical Cremona violin family instrument making, and their system of oncia measurements.
Just a few ,Questions for you , if I may ? In 1729 G.F.Handel traveled to Italy to hire singers and commission instruments . Did G.F.Handel use a Stradivarius to compose 'Messiah' ? Who paid for the commission ? What happened to this Stradivarius ...... did it go missing ......if so ..... is it still in one piece ? BTW , I do research and I may I have the answers , if you are interested .
