Violinist’s Complete Guide: Care, Adjustment, Strings, etc [Beginner to Pro]

In partnership with The Strad Magazine, I am very excited to present a violinist's complete practical guide to instrument care, maintenance, acoustical understanding, tonal adjustment, proper string care and more. I am joined by renowned violin maker Andrew Ryan, who will share some tips and tricks from his many years of experience. You will also come away with a practical understanding of how the violin works, such that you can start to take charge of keeping your instrument in top shape!
