The Treasury Violin.

HERE is story told by Berlin cor
respondent of Ole Bull, which will be
read now with interest:
Gaspar da Salo, the only violin-maker
who can be called the equal of Joseph
,Gauderius, lived and worked at the
commencement of the sixteenth century.
He had made violin with so much
care, and was himself so satisfied with
his work, that he desired Benvenuto
Cellini to carve the neck. The head of
the instrument is formed by a lovely
cherub's face, which is supported by
smaller head and bust of maiden, the
features being of exquisite workmanship.
The rest of the neck is most beautifully
cut aud gilded, and the colors are clear
and bright, though they are now over
three hundred years old. as the instru-
ment was made in 1882. The wood
from which Gaspar da SalO chose his
material grew on the mountains between
Brescia and Verona, where it was SO
finely developed by the even tempera-
ture prevailing there, that the veins of
the wood are exactly an even distance
apart. The mountains near Brescia are
entirely denuded of trees. 1t is impossi-
BILE to find such trees elsewhere, and the
instruments of this master are unique in
this respect, and can not be initiated.
Cardinal Aldebrandipi bought Gaspar
da Salo's and Benvenuto Celiini's violin
for three thousand ducats. and present
ed it to the Treasury of Innspruck,
from which it got Its name of the
s.Treasury Violin" which it has since
retained. When Innspruck was invad-
I'd by the French in 1909, 1t came into
the possession of soldier, who gave it
over to Rhaczek for the insignificant
sum of four hundred gulden. In 1889
Ole Bull visited Rhaczek, saw the violin,
and bid all he possessed for the instru-
ment, offering as well the proceeds of
the concerts he was then giving in Vien-
ma. "Give me the fourth of Vienna,
and then we will see," was Rhaczek's
reply. But he promised the artist if he
ever parted with it he should have the
preference. Two years later, in Liepsic,
List and Mendelssohn were dining with
Ole Bull, and while they sat at table, the
servant brought an envelope bearing a
great seal, which the host put one side.
HOpen your letter." cried List, sit
has large seal, and may be important"
1t proved to be from the son of Rhaczek,
and impaired the news of his fathers
death, and that ga clause of his will
directed that the Treasury violin should
be sent to Ole Bull" The delighted art
ist told the good news to his friends.
what a wonderful violin it must be to
cost so much money" said Mendels-
sohn. "We must play the Kreutzer
Sonata together the first time you use /:
in public" When the instrument came
it was found that there was no bar in il,
and it had, therefore, never been played
upon. As soon as possible it was put in
order, and, as Mendelssohn had sug-
gested, it was consecrated to art by the
playing of Beethoven's sonata.
