ABOUT THE VIOLIN.
The Mutilation of Famous Old Instru.
ments by Modern Repairsrs.

The violin is unquestionably the
most interesting of all musical instru-
ments existing. Unfortunately. violins
possessing the noble tone quality SYM
pathetic to tho heart, as the true artist
imagines and Graves for, are rarities;
and again in many instances just such
productions are not understood, for to
acquire knowledge of tone is a science
requiring years of study and expert
ence, and this qualification is little
possessed by many violin admirers
yes, even artists
II is a well-known fact that Italian
violins of the old and great masters are
in preference. But how many of them
now In private collections as well as in
possession of artists are intact. and
have not been tempered with? Who
to-day can demonstrate or has the
knowledge what is a Stradivarius tone
or Guernerius tone, etc? is nybody
living who can say: Here is violin
just as it left Stradivarius' hands and
Of his best period" etc, and conse-
quently say: HAS the Stradivarius
toner" Does anyone ever consider the
length of the bass bar the length of
the neck, and other adjustments made
by the old masters, in comparison with
how they now are in those violins for
present pitch and requirements? And
how often they have been altered, in
only too many cases been tempered
with, by overzealous repairer,
for so-called improvements ac-
cording to their respective sys-
tenn of notions! Now. wherein
can the much-abused assertion be sub
stantiated, viz: This is a Stradivsrius
tone, etc, and that is not?" Hereby /.
demonstrated TO some degree the ques-
ton Of tone, and in what tone quality
is the correct one for violin Hence
many conflicting opinions. This art.

Italian masters is not lost America

every way represent the best of the

said he believed in more of individual

he lives practically without fire the
