We're always looking to uncover new information when researching for our books, and many leads have come from personal connections or family records. Perhaps your ancestors were involved in the violin-making business, or maybe your instrument has an inscription with biographical details of its maker inside - anything like this is valuable knowledge!

During the process of making a book it is fascinating to see what instruments have surfaced, and letting us know about yours could lead to it being featured in a future publication. Send us some photographs and anything that may be of interest will be put to the authors for consideration.
