LF- --1161

sally

known as the

largest music

1 house in

the

world,

but

among musi-

* L

N

cians

and

connoisseurs their

greatest

LICL.85

reputation does not rest on this fact.

*> Fine

musical instruments are not

pieces

of

merchandise,

but

works of

art. Their

value

depends not on cost

of material and

labor, but

on individual

qualities

and characteristics

cunningly wrought into them by

a

master hand, to be

called out

again by

the master

artist. Such

instruments

cannot

be

bought by lot and sold

by

number like ordi-

nary merchandise: they must

be

individually

selected

by experts and just

as

carefully

sold

again-each to per-

fectly meet

the

particular

requirements of

its

particular

new owner.

C Lyon

and

Healy early

and

clearly

recognized

these

facts.

From

the first

their

entire

policy has been to

select

only

those

instruments

whose individual

merit

would rank them at the top

of their

class, and to sell

only on

a

basis

that would

assure

permanent

satisfaction

to

every

customer.

4 Such a policy

necessitates

the constant

exercise of

great

technical

judgment

along

all

musical

lines. To

meet this need Lyon

and

Healy

have

gathered

a

corps

of experts that has made this

name

famous in high

musical

circles the world over.

41

This

policy, and

the

careful,

consistent way

in

which

it is followed out, has led many of

the

leading

musicians

and connoisseurs, both in

this country

and

abroad, to rely

entirely on

this

judgment in

the choice

and

purchase

of some of the world's

greatest musical

masterpieces.

For years it has

also

proved

invaluable

to thousands of

customers

everywhere

in

selecting for them the best

instrument

procurable to

meet

their needs

and means.

4 And what is true of

all

branches of

our

business is

particularly true of our

Old Violin Department. The

violin is

so

inseparably

linked with all that is greatest in

the history

of

music-its

design

and

construction were

brought to such

a

marvelous

point

of

perfection by the

mastermakers of

Cremona and

their

followers in

France

and Germany, who seem to

have

caught the very soul

of music in the very form

of

art-that

it

stands

today

without a peer in

the

hearts of

the

great body

of

music

lovers.

41

The

importance of

a

really fine

old

instrument, not

only'for

the

professional

musician, but for

the

student,

cannot

be

overestimated. Artistic

expression,

light and

shade,

beauty and

tone

color are the very

essence of real

violin

music; yet

the

average

modern

instrument is inca-

pable

of expressing them.

41 In speaking of this subject,

Mr.

Theodore

Thomas, the

late

great

conductor of

the Thomas

Orchestra,

wrote us:

I am convinced that the prime reason for lack qf artistic

e*ression among violinists is the want Qf a good in#trument

in early LUe, one which might have awakened a sense qf tone

quality instead Qf noise. In placing suck ,#ne instruments

within the reach Qfkmerican musicians your undertaking should

meet the appreciation and encouragement which it deserves.

41 Our Catalog de Luxe, illustrating and describ-

ing our choicest violins, ranging in price from one

thousand dollars, upward, will be sent to those con-

sidering the purchase of a masterpiece of this class.

Ludwig

Christian

Bausch, Leipzig, 1830

No. 189.

Bausch was by all odds the most

celebrated of

the

nineteenth

century

makers in

Germany. His work

was

exquisite

in

every

detail.

He was

an artist in

the truest

sense of

the word.

The violin

here listed is one of his

representative

specimens, in a very

high state of

preservation,

with

magnificent wood in

back,

sides

and top. The tone

is

exceedingly

responsive,

and the

instrument is very easy to play on

account of

the

sloping

shoulders. It has

Antonio

Gibertini,

Parma, 1850

No.

2503.

While not

so

widely

known

among

violinists of

this

country, the name

of Gibertini

is recognized by

the

connoisseurs

of

Europe as

that of one of the

best

makers of

the

nineteenth

century. His work is

not

altogether

unlike that

of

Pressenda,

though

the

model

he

employed was

not

so broad

and

robust, but

more

feminine in

character.

This

instrument

is

built of very

choice wood

selected

especially for

its tonal

quality,

the result

being a tone

of

especial

sweetness and

good

power.

The

varnish is a
