What the books printed

Voice and violin, Phipson, T. L. (Thomas Lamb). London: Chatto & Windus; Philadelphia : Lippincott, 1898. Page 191, scan 211.
Otto, the German violin-maker, and author of a little treatise on the subject, assures us that Stainer's violins were quite equal in elegance, finish, and tone to those of the greatest makers of Cremona. They, naturally enough, have the most resemblance to those of Nicolo Amati, his master, but they are somewhat more raised in the table. The purfling is beautifully executed, narrow, and placed very near the borders; the sound-holes are shorter and not so elegant as those of Stradivari.
