3This is one of the most excellent German treatises on the subject, though it is in reality a mere condensation of the larger work of Wettengel (q.v. No. 59). It is divided into three parts, of which the first is devoted to the practical processes of violin-making and repairing, the second concerns the guitar, and the third is the completest treatise on the bow with which I am acquainted. The book closes with a short appendix dealing with stains and varnishes. Bachmann was a violin-maker at Halberstadt.
