VMAAI Journal

The VMAAI Journal is a monthly publication dedicated to keeping members informed about Association activities and providing informative, how-to-do-it articles on various aspects of violin making. Members are encouraged to submit material concerning unusual techniques that might be helpful to others as well as articles on the history of violin making and violin makers. Articles for consideration should be sent to VMAAI Journal Editor, Harold Golden.

The Journal is the backbone of our organization and represents some of the finest materials available for the experienced or aspiring violin maker. Cost of publishing and mailing is covered by membership dues.
