| Summary | "Violin Tone and Violin Makers" by Hidalgo Moya and Towry Piper is a comprehensive treatise on the characteristics and evaluation of violin tone, written in the early 20th century. The publication discusses the evolution and importance of tone in violins, with a significant focus on both historical and contemporary makers, examining their contributions to the craft. The book aims to clarify the often-confused relationship between a violin's construction, its tonal qualities, and the marketplace dynamics regarding collectibles versus functional instruments. At the start of the work, the authors set the stage for the importance of tone in the violinist's experience, arguing against the prevailing curio-collector mindset that overlooks tonal quality. The introduction addresses the challenges players face in discerning a violin's tone, especially given the influence of the curio market, which often prioritizes the age and maker of an instrument over its sound. They emphasize that while many players focus on tone, their options are often constrained by misleading valuation systems that neglect this crucial aspect. This opening section establishes a foundation for the ensuing discussion on the interplay between tone, construction, and musical performance, ultimately advocating for a clearer understanding of what constitutes true tonal quality in violins.
