The Violoncello: Its History, Selection, and Adjustment is a comprehensive guide to the history, construction, and maintenance of the violoncello, written by Arthur Broadley and originally published in 1921. The book covers the origins and evolution of the instrument, as well as the different types of cellos and their characteristics. It also provides detailed information on selecting and purchasing a cello, including advice on what to look for in terms of sound quality, playability, and condition. The latter half of the book focuses on the proper adjustment and maintenance of the instrument, including tips on tuning, stringing, and caring for the wood and varnish. Throughout the book, Broadley draws on his extensive experience as a cellist and instrument maker to provide practical advice and insights into the art and science of the violoncello. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and workings of this beautiful and complex instrument.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
