MECHANICAL vIoLiNs

A violin player which represents the
combined ingenuity of FIVE inventors
is described in the Scientific American
as reproducing with remarkable fidsli-
ty the performance of a great violin
virtuoso.
The problem of producing q violin
player was much more complicated
than that OF q piano player. First
there was the difnculty that the finger
must form its own notes and not sim
ply play upon . visible key. TAan
the tone must be produced by draw
Ing the bow across the strings In =
particular manner to produce q par.
ticular effect. The inventors aban-
doned the idea Of playing single vto-
lin with four strings. but instead used
three violins, each provided with on
ly one string and these three instru.
ments perform all the musical fdnc-
tions of the usual four strings Of .
single violin.
The three violins are played upon
by o circular bow composed Of 5000
horsehairs. The bow completely sur.
rounds the violins and Is kept In con-
tinuous movement. In order to pro-
duce q tone. the particular violin re-
quired Is bodily pressed against the
bow with more or less force, thus re-
versing the hand method Of playing.
The speed Of the bows movement Is
modified to produce the particular
kind of tone and quality desired.
The actual notes are formed by nm
gers on the neck of each violin. which
fingers are operated by pneumatic
mechanism controlled by the usual
paper roll, similar to the roll used In
piano players. BY moving the violins
toward and from the bow and by vary
ing the speed of the bows movement.
the tone produced can be varied from
the finest pianissimo to q powerful
forte. The vibrato or tremolo. which
gives to violin playing Its human
quality, is obtained. not as the living
artist obtains 1t, by means Of the hn-
ger on the neck Of the violin. but BY
vibrating the string at the base OF
the violin. The musical result Il the
same.
