Book excerpt: With the development of science and technology, the utility of wood decreases, but in the world of luthiers, wood can never be replaced by other materials. This forest industry has great value. This gold mine was discovered in China and turned into mass production. In terms of volume and tone, a violin is incomparable with other stringed instruments, such as a guitar, ukulele, erhu. The performance skills and repertoire developed are hence rich. After a brief review of the history of violin making we discuss the physics of it.
