1FOX BRAND
2SYMPHONIC COVERED STRINGS
3Unqualifiedly the World's Best
5Our string maker held, for many years, the same position with a well known Philadelphia manufacturer and dealer (now deceased), during which time his work achieved an international reputation with the world's best artists and soloists. After the death of his former employer, and the consequent passing of the business into other hands, we arranged with him to manufacture for Lyon & Healy exclusively. Since that time many improvements in methods of manufacture have been made and we now pronounce the Fox Brand Strings absolutely the finest that have ever been brought to our notice, and the only wound strings perfectly adapted for use on the rare old instruments listed in this catalog.
7Fox Brand Symphonic Wound Strings are made from the finest selected and specially prepared Italian gut, wound as stated, with silver plated copper, sterling silver or pure gold wire, in such a manner as to make them absolutely free from rattling, against which they are unreservedly guaranteed. A special feature of these strings is the silk undercover, which is used on strings which are so listed. This is spun on the gut before the wire, and acts not only as an absolute preventive of rattling, but also protects the gut from climatic changes.
