    About this ebook

    “The History and Design of the Violin Bow” is a collection of vintage articles on the subject of the violin, with a particular focus on the bridge. The articles explore a range of topics from the history and origins of the violin to notable makers and players, the evolution of designs, and much more. This book will appeal to violin players and those with an interest in the history of this ancient instrument. Contents include: “Bow Instruments – Their Form and Construction, by J. W. Giltay”, “A Review of Ancient and Modern violin Making, by W. W. Oakes”, and “British Violin-Makers – Classical and Modern, by Wm. Meredith Morris”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.

      THE BRIDGE AND ITS MOTION.

      AS seen in the introductory chapter, the bridge serves to communicate the vibration of the string to the belly of the violin. We saw also that the amount of air vibration generated by a single string is very small, so that the sound produced is very feeble.

      Significance of the Bridge’s Motion.

      Suppose a bridge standing on the belly of an un-stringed violin and under a pressure as large as that of the four strings together, swinging around its right foot and making exactly the same motion as when mounted on a stringed violin and put into motion by the string. Then this unstringed instrument would produce the same tone as the stringed instrument, only a little
