"Violin Tone and Violin Makers" by Hidalgo Moya and Towry Piper is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between tone and the violin. The book delves into the degeneration of tonal status, the influence of curiosity value, and the types and standards of violin tone. It emphasizes the importance of tone ideals and discusses ancient and modern violins in relation to tone. The authors provide an account of the principal violin makers of various schools and their works. The book highlights the anomalous position of the violin as both a musical instrument and a curiosity, and the toneless method of valuation applied to old violins. It categorizes different types of standard violin tone, such as Amatisé, Bergonzian, Brescian, Guarnerian, and Stradivarian, and explains the characteristics of each. The decline of tone after 1750 is examined, attributing it to factors like competition for low-priced violins and the overshadowing influence of great masters. The book also discusses the relationship between a new violin and tone, the Paris competition of 1912, and the importance of comparisons between ancient and modern violin makers. It addresses the effect of age on tone, the controversial subject of varnish and tone, and the relationship between the violin player and tone. The book concludes with chapters on the ideal tone, how to acquire it, two styles of tone production, modern violin makers, and notes on tone, including carrying power, quantity versus quality, flexibility of tone, tone failure, and fiddles classified based on tone. Overall, "Violin Tone and Violin Makers" provides a thorough examination of the intricate relationship between tone and the violin, shedding light on the complexities of tone production and the evolution of tonal standards in violin making.
