Much has been written on the intriguing subject of tone production in violins and of the many methods employed, by past a present day makers, in search of their perfect tonal result. This booklet sets out to open the way to a system of tuning that is far from the generally accepted tradition; looking at a method that might well have been researched and adopted by Joseph Guarnerius del Jesu. There has been no attempt to produce a set of working drawings: only the discussion of a tuning method which has proved to be very successful in practice. It may provide a good starting point for further development.
