Here are some of the great features of the CD:
1. Geared for the first time maker- As your "Virtual Instructor"
Mr. Flores takes the time to carefully and thoroughly explain
each step of the process and yet, is ever-mindful not to confuse
the reader with complex ideas and issues.
2. Ease of Use- Simply pop the CD ROM into any available CD
ROM drive on your PC and the CD will auto-load. This is not
a software program! This is a CD ROM book. Place the book in
the CD ROM drive when you want to read it, and take it out when
you are done. Nothing is ever installed on your computer.
3. Lavishly Illustrated- This violin making guide features over
1,200 high quality photo Illustrations! Nothing is left to the
imagination. Every important aspect of the violin making process
is illustrated in detail. No other violin making guide (at any
price) comes close to this.
4. Comprehensive- This guide covers it all! Everything from
an illustrated list of tools and supplies, to all the measurements
is included. There is even a complete set of templates (including
a template for the mold) which you can either print out yourself
or have printed for you at a copy service store. There is no
need to buy a separate volume for measurements and other vital
information. One CD has everything!
5. Varnish Recipe- Mr. Flores doesn't hold back any information
in this highly secretive and debatable area of violin making.
A complete recipe for a high quality oil varnish is covered
in detail. A wealth of photos covers the application process.
You will not find this in any other violin making guide!
