  2. Strange scan page 175, line 5 mention only — no record here yet

    Strange that the first great violin maker should have come from a house noted for many years for its brilliant record in lute-making. The regular viol makers of the day seemed to have plodded on more slowly, but to Kaspar Tieffenbrücker is generally ascribed the honour of making the first genuine violin in 1511. This has been disputed by some learned men, but we find such authorities as Wasielewski and Emil Naumann accepting it; the former stating positively that there are still in existence three excellent violins by Tieffenbrücker, dated respectively 1511, 1517, and 1519. — trade term as printed: "violin maker" — surname not established — the line carries a trade term but no surname resolves to it — from OCR (read_as: ocr)

    Providentially, in 1669, the emperor appointed Jacob to the post of violin maker of the Court. This new position fired Stainer with new energy and hope. He began to make more and more exquisitely finished violins, calling upon his Venetian studies to supply him with rare and effective kinds of varnish, and inventing star-shaped sound-holes, and elaborately ornamented scrolls, by way of variations. He took a house opposite Krupp Castle, and devoted his every waking moment — trade term as printed: "violin maker" — surname not established — the line carries a trade term but no surname resolves to it — from OCR (read_as: ocr)

  4. Heron, Allen's scan page 309, line 7 mention only — no record here yet

    Heron-Allen's fancy, that every violin maker puts part of himself into his work, must be true. So intimate and sweet a connection as exists between the maker and his fiddle must mean no ordinary bond. Such tender labour and unremitting devotion, such exquisite sympathy and unbelievable response in thrilling melody — these — trade term as printed: "violin maker" — from OCR (read_as: ocr)
