Roger Hargrave - The Working Methods of Guarneri del Gesù. New Digital Edition

[Urban Luthier]

Dear Maestronet,

As many are aware, Roger Hargrave has generously shared his numerous publications over the years through his website. It has been, and continues to be, a fantastic resource for the community. The Violin Society of America has kindly agreed to host Roger's digital archive in the future to ensure his publications are available to the community.

In the mean time, Roger has given me permission to share with you a new digital edition of his chapters in the Biddulph del Gesu book. This new version fixes the transcription errors (found in the version on his site) and adds a new interactive experience. See my colophon on page 2 for more info. Roger owns the copyright, and as such, he is free to share. However, as with his other publications, please respect the licence agreement. 

Roger is retired from violin making, but is actively working on a series of novels based on the Violin Trade. If you haven't read Angel Eyes yet, it is a fantastic novel and can be purchased from Amazon.

Enjoy,

Chris

Am I the only one here whose pdf icon says "unavailable"?

[Dr. Ludwig]

The document opens with Edge, Adobe and Chrome at least. Use 'open with' from the file explorer....assuming Windows.

Were you signed in when you tried to download it?

At first sight without further reading, I loved the typography and font choice. It got me hooked.

Small typo (or on purpose?): Copyright info:

(c) Roger Graham Hargrave 2033 

Thank you for sharing, I shall read it through and through.

If I may, there are six typos when referring the Kochański: it's written "Kochánski" (first two on page 5,  then on page 32, 36, 50, and 51).

Best,

Riccardo964

yes the main 2033 made me smile Kochánski (with the accent on the a) is how it is spelled in the book

Yes, I noticed, correct form is Kochański.
