The current post on this forum regarding the Caldersmith Papers has reminded me of a great documentary film
on the trials and tribulations of violin making. The film features several Australian makers including Graham.

Here is another video for those so inclined. I searched high and low for this since I first saw it on PBS in 1981.
A book was released that dives deeper into his research shortly after his passing in 2001. I believe it is still available on Amazon.

I assume this is the book that delves into Fry's research: https://www.amazon.com/Cremona-Violins- ... 9812791108

Yes, that is the one. I bought the digital version that included a link to download a DVD image that contained demonstrations that illustrated his work in more detail. Hardcopies included the disc I believe. The text itself has background history and provides more detail into his work as well which spanned 30+ years.
