Technical Schemas and Diagrams
Original Diagrams
The photographs illustrating the articles have been supplemented by over 100 original technical drawings developed by the editorial team to clarify procedures. Examples of these are displayed throughout the website.
Detailed Instrument and Bow Schemas
Two major articles of detailed instrument and bow schemas ensure the rigorous and consistent use of technical terms throughout the book and aim to provide a new international standard in terminology. The bow schemas consist of 17 drawings on six pages and the instrument schemas consist of 11 drawings on ten pages.

Bow Schema 3: Butt End of Stick, with Frog and Button
Instrument and Bow Documentation Diagrams
Two articles on the documentation of instruments and bows include systematic checklists and are accompanied by detailed series of diagrams for recording measurements: 13 in the case of bows and 30 for instruments. These will allow makers, conservators, and scholars to establish exhaustive empirical descriptions by noting measurements directly in the appropriate circles on copies of the diagrams.
Instrument Documentation 1: Top Plate Dimensions
Bow Documentation 4: Screw, Interior Frog Dimensions, and Pin Placement
Combined, the schemas and documentation diagrams will provide the most rigorous, complete, and standardized system available for the description and documentation of stringed instruments and bows.
