B. Zoebisch: Vogtländischer Geigenbau ab 1850Hardcover, 438pp

.A new standard reference work on German violin making in the Klingenthal and Markneukirchen region, covering the period from 1850 onwards. This is a companion volume to the first book by Zoebisch which covered Vogtland violin making up to 1850 (Order No. 934051): however, the photo quality and number of featured instruments is vastly superior as compared to Vol. I. This new book, Volume II, features a total of 155 (!!) instruments, including 3 views of the scroll and a lateral view. It is a particularly valuable source to consult on the subject of contemporary East German makers and further violin makers from the whole 20th century. All makers are featured with a short biography and a description of labels and brands. Numerous appendices contain valuable historical photos and documentary material.Text in German.
