E. Blot: Liuteria Italiana 1800-1950, Vol. IV: Piedmont

Hardback, 413pp.
Representing a leap forward in quality in this already highly-acclaimed series, the fourth volume concentrates on Italian violin makers from the Piedmont region (around Turin). With appealing graphics and further (!) improved photo quality, this book features reproductions of ca. 77 instruments by 26 Piedmont makers, including measurements. All relevant features are photographed (brands, labels, bridges, special views of certain areas, etc). Each maker is introduced with a biography, in many cases providing further historical photographs. There are introductory essays on DEspine, Pressenda, Rocca and on the Guadagnini family. Text in English and Italian.
