Publisher's Synopsis
The Ancestry of the Violin is a two-part book written by Edward Heron Allen in 1882. The first part of the book focuses on the origin of the violin, tracing its history back to ancient times and exploring the various instruments that influenced its development. The second part of the book delves into the Welsh crwth, a bowed string instrument that shares many similarities with the violin. Allen provides a detailed examination of the construction and playing techniques of the crwth, as well as its place in Welsh history and culture. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of stringed instruments, and provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of the violin and its place in the wider musical world.Being A Discourse Delivered At The Freemasons������� Tavern On Friday, June 2, 1882, To The Sette Of Odd Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
