“The American Violin” is a 2016 publication by the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers (which we may refer to as AFVBM or “The Federation”). This book was a monumental culmination of efforts by many folks in The Federation and the general violin trade. It very eloquently tells the story of American violin making- when and where it started, how it spread, and to whom it served. Guest John Montgomery joins Jerry and Brandon to tell this story.

Special Guest: John Montgomery.
