very finest woods for his instruments
as he had to be governed by the
amount his client was willing or able
to pay, but for tone, his best instru-
ments have never been surpassed.
The most perfect skill is apparent in
his carving of the head. cutting the
sound holes and inserting the purfling,
or inlaid border.
He is particularly noted for his
>arnish, and some musicians credit
the wonderful tone quality of his in
struments to the quality Of varnish
used.
DR.. H. Blakiston wilkins, honorary
curator Of musical instruments in the
Library of Congress, attributes rare
tonal quality to three things: Q The
quality of material used in the instru-
ment; CD perfect proportions and
workmanship, and 60 fine varnish,
wonderfully well applied.
All of the instruments in the Stradi-
vari collection, now under his care.
are examples Of all three of these
qualities. The Belts" violin. made
in 1704, Is generally. conceded to be
the most beautiful and most perfect
violin the master ever made; the Cas-
telbarco," made in 1899, Is a perfect
specimen of the long pattern" vio-
lin; the "Castelbarco" violoncello,
made in 1897, is one Of the three
violoncellos of its period which have
not been reduced in size, and the
"Casavetti." viola made in 1927, is
equally perfect from every point of
view.

came part of my life. 1t grew. There
was no effort, no plan on my part. 1t
was simply a dream coming true"
Out of that dream" over period
of years came the collection Of Stradi-
vari instruments.
THE collection consists Of two vio-
lins, a viola and violoncello.
Each instrument is made in Stradi-
vari's best period and is perfect
specimen of his work. Antonio
Stradivari was the most illustrious
musical instrument maker of all time
He was born in Cremona. Italy, in
1914 and died there in 1877. the esd
year of his age.
He was apprenticed when young to
Nicolo Amati, but little is known Of
his early life. However, violin bear
ing the label, "Alumnus Nicolai Amati,
faciebat ammo 1866" is evidence of his
having worked in Amati's shop.
More than 1,100 instruments, it is
computed, were produced by Stradi-
vari. They were principally violins,
violas and violoncellos, but he made
as well violas-da- -gamba, pochettes
and a few small-sized violins. One
of these latter Of especial historical
interest is now on display in the
~
was given to the little King of Rome
by his father, Napoleon. One of the
very few guitars made by Stradivari
IS also on display in this case.
Stradivari did not always use the

grand pattern" period, and even
among SO many masterpieces it Is
noticeably perfect in form. The model
is very full. being only slightly hol-
lowed close to the purf1ing. Describ-
ing it in detail. DR.. wilkins states:
'The sound holes are beautiful, clear
cut, instinct with grace, and a little
more upright than in some models.
The scroll shows the bold outlines
usually met with in the masters work.
and, as in most Of the later models.
the f1uting is not quite so deep as in
the earlier ones. The back is in two
pieces and the table is of pine wood
of exquisite grain. The corners are
longer than those Of some Of Stradi-
varis later violins, and the purfling
is extended as far as possible" This
instrument bears the date Of 1704.
Count Cesare Castelbarco Of Milan,
a famous collector OF musical instru-
ments, was the owner Of the "Castel-
barco," and it was named for him.
His instruments were sent to London
in 1862, when the count decided to
sell his collection, and it was bought
there by Vuillaume of Paris. This
dealer later sold it to DR.. Tesse Of
Douaie. from whom it was repurchased
by Vuillaume. David Laurie was the
next owner and William E. Hill &
Sons purchased it from Laurie. John
Mountford bought it from Hill &
Co. in 1875 and many years later he
resold 1t to them. From its next
owner, a Mrs. Renton, it went to

Their confidence grows. The taste
of power intoxicates them. One

ion over the world.
