Jack Batts was a violin maker in Southern Illinois, who, until his
death in 1988, made fine quality instruments for members of some
major American symphony orchestras. He is believed to have made up
to 150 fine violins and 5 violas. He was very generous with his
time, and dedicated to his craft. He thus assisted to prepare this
work in 1975, but time, and the vagaries of the publishing world
did not permit its publication until now. The work tells how this
master made the sound of his instruments, not simply "the wooden
box" that produces those sounds. It includes copies of his detailed
hand made records of about 20 instruments made till the date of
research. The author also discusses the context of the man, and of
the shop within the history of his region, the southern highlands -
coal country - of Southern Illinois.
