Description

Book Synopsis
This text detects the background to the violin fraud and explains how the law applies to it. Much of what is said applies to the antique world generally, but there are specific and pressing problems relating to string instruments with which this book is particularly concerned.

Trade Review
Essential reading for anyone who is involved in the business of musical instruments in any way, and recommended reading for those who own or purchase instruments. * The Galpin Society Journal *
This book is a praiseworthy effort to shed some light on the murkier side of the violin trade. Harvey has done a commendable job of evaluating analogous cases from the art world to determine how courts might decide cases involving instruments. Violin Fraud provides an excellent overview of the pertinent legal issues for anyone contemplating the purchase or sale of a fine instrument. * Notes *
