- Gruetter, Andreas Bowmaker's Guide This site is maintained by Andreas Gruetter, a bowmaker from the Netherlands whose aim is delivering quality to his world-wide clientele. His website is really a short education manual about bows. This site contains information on the differences between violin, viola, cello and bass bows, types of wood used in bowmaking, strength distribution in bows, and response. The manual comprises of 10 chapters that are very well written and illustrated. It might help to print out the information.

- Jaeger,Emmanuel. Laurent,Frederic and Molkhou, Jean-Michel Encyclopedia of the Violin - (Multimedia Edition) Probably the best bargain to be found with so much information about the violin. The CD benefits from both expertise and planning and should be in every violinists CD drawer. I strongly recommend purchasing a copy today. Jean-Michel Molkhou is well known for his writings on the violin and his exhaustive discographies published from time to time by the Strad Magazine. Emmanuel Jaeger is a violinist and conductor and Frederic Laurent, a journalist and audio visual producer.
