String Instrument Pitch: For Violin, Viola, and Cello

This book explains intonation for string instruments (violin, viola, cello).
It may not be necessary for those who can already achieve good intonation by ear. However, for those who struggle with intonation, don't know how to achieve it, or want to improve it, this book is worth reading. There are few comparable books on string instrument intonation, and none that explain it in such detail in writing. The content includes explanations of pure intonation, calculations for finger positions to achieve pure intonation, exercises, how to play melodic intervals, and various other topics related to intonation. While much of the content is aimed at beginners and intermediate players, advanced players and instructors may also find it useful. Some theoretical aspects are quite complex, so this is not a book to be passively read while lying down. It is intended for those who are willing to make an effort to practice and calculate seriously.
