A man of varied interests and considerable expertise, Petherick was an aficionado of stringed instruments and published work that reflects his passion for violins.

In this text, Petherick's reverence for Stradivari's work is evident, providing readers with insights into the meticulous art of violin-making and the historical context of Stradivari's era.

His writings, while perhaps not as widely known in the mainstream as other works from the period, contribute valuable scholarship to the niche of musical instrument craftsmanship and the cultural heritage of violin-making.
