Synopsis The violin is considered the Emperor of musical instruments all the world over. I must admit that Violin technique is at a low ebb in India. This book is sure to be of great use to students of the violin. It is with great pleasure that I congratulate the author (Mr. C.S. Ayyar), who is good violinist himself, on what is probably the very first attempt in India, at describing the violin technique. The suggestions regarding the art of fingering and bowing may be noted by students with great profit.
