"The Repairing & Restoration of Violins" by Horace Petherick is a guide for repairing and bringing old violins back to life. Crafted in the early 1900s, it looks at different ways to fix violins, the special tools needed, and the right materials to use so these instruments can last. It's useful for anyone who likes to fix violins, whether they're just starting out or have been doing it for years. The book starts by talking about how important violins are in history, especially those made in Italy. Because good violins are harder to find these days, the book focuses on how to fix them up instead. It points out that violins can get damaged in many ways over time, so it's important to know how to fix everything from small cracks to replacing big pieces of wood. The first part of the book teaches the basics, like being careful with your work, using the correct glue, and making sure the violin still sounds good after it's fixed.
