"George Gemünder's Progress in Violin Making" by George Gemünder is a detailed treatise on the art of violin making written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Gemünder's journey as a violin maker, providing insights into the craftsmanship, challenges, and prevailing prejudices concerning new violins in the musical community. It emphasizes the quest for quality in sound and construction that rivals the work of the old Italian masters. The opening portion of the work introduces George Gemünder's background, starting with his early life in Wurtemburg and his decision to pursue violin making over teaching. It details his travels and challenges in finding employment, ultimately leading him to Paris’s esteemed violin manufacturer, Vuillaume. The narrative captures the trials and triumphs Gemünder faces, from his dream of achieving artistic excellence to the prejudices he encounters as a maker of newly crafted violins. As he establishes himself, the text hints at both the technical aspects of violin-making and the significant opinions of prominent musicians regarding new versus old instruments.
