LUCKY TRADE OF VOLINIS7
&. ]. Mc1rtire, Of New York, 0et1
Genuine Stainer in Exchanre
for Cheap Fiddle.

New York.-Robert J. McIntire. a
Eagle avenue, in the Bronx, a young
violinist, came into possession Of what
is said to be very valuable violin
the other day in an unusual way. The
instrument has been pronounced a
genuine Stainer. Mr. McIntire SAYS
he has refused an offer of Sc. 600 for
the fiddle and has had it insured for
$4,000. He traded it for a violin he
valued at 5000 and got s25 to boot.
Mclntlre has made a considerable
study OF violins, and is frequently
called upon by members of orchestras
tor advice in the selection Of instru.
ments. A yiolinist who makes a
speciality of playing dance music sent
word to McIntire few days ago that
ne had a bohemian" violin which
was suitable for concert music, and
that he would like to exchange it for
one which was better adapted for
dance music.
The Bohemian instrument was
sent to McIntire later for inspection
and trial. 1t looked shabby and Of
little account. but as soon as the
violinist drew the bow across the
strings he felt sure he had found a
prize.
An exchange of instruments was
quickly effected to the mutual salts
faction of the musicians. McIntire
took his new fiddle to Edward Tubbs.
a Well-lknOwn violin eynart who ct
once recognized it as a genuine Stain.
er. He said it was probably made
about 1916. He added that he be.
lieved he had seen same instrument
once before, in the famous Camille
Savori collection Other experts
agreed with Tubbs and said that the
violin is of great value.
