Coda to The Setup And Repair of the Double Bass for Optimum Sound

From the Prologue by Chuck Traeger:
"About the title, the dictionary definition of the word "coda" is: music; A: a concluding passage, the function of which is to bring a composition to a cogent and well-proportioned close.

"My wife, June, suggested this title because that is exactly what I am doing here. This booklet is the conclusion of my research and my writing. It is not that there is no more to be done. It is that at eighty three I am running out of the time to do it."
