Almost everyone in this vicinity knows
tIat r. G. G. Wright makes viollns, but
as h: makes them for pastime no one
coulG guess how many he has maze.
Perhaps Mr. Wright himself could not
tell exactly how many he has made. but
thinks it is somewhere in the vicinity OF
100 There are not many factories where
yiolins are turned out at who lesale, but
htre ard there may be found q maker OF
vi olins One reason for this is mat Jew
kinds of wood are adapted for violin
making and those have to be specially
prepared. The tone does not depenr so
much upon the workmanship as upon
material AS a general thing, the oder
tie wood from which violin is made,
the better the tone, so violin MAKER Is
ALWAYS looking for odd pieces OF wood
$, liable for his craft Violins improve
with age, Sc those who play them are
always looking for some rare Old lnstru-
inert. Love of violin, coupled with
mechanical ability, is generally the iirst
incentive to begin the making OF vlo'lns.
This was the case with Mr.. Wright
When q mere boy he showed such a
taste for violin music, that when he was
IT, years Of age his brother-in-law gave
him q violin and he began to play. One
dav his violin fell and the top was broken
of and he undertook to mend it. Tie
succeeded SO well that he then set about
making a new one. Mr.. Wright was
born in Oxford hut went to Mccnanic
Fan, nearly 80 years ago. As might be
expected Mr.. Wright is a mechanic as
we'll as musician. Being interested IN
violins whenever he came across any
wood of the right kind, with the grain
running the right way and with
vibrant quality he saved it. and from
it in his spare moments made viofins.-
