Brandmair, B. & Greiner S.: Stradivari Varnish

The book contains Day- and UV-light life size pictures of 25 of the best preserved Stradivari Violins of all periods from famous European collections including the Messie , a rarely photographed pristine Strad. Many of these instruments have not been documented in the past decades and under any circumstances by these means. Also there are pictures of one of his guitars, and some violas as well. A complete listing of this information is located on the Stradivari Varnish site. Brigitte Brandmair took years gaining access to and analyzing these amazing violins. The photography is second to none, done by the well respected photographer Jan Röhrmann.
