15OLD ITALIAN, MADE in MILANO ABOUT 1750
16*Number 4705. Three-quarter size. Small size Italian instruments have always been very scarce, as few were made. It is a great advantage as well as satisfaction to a child who is learning to play an instrument, to have one which responds easily and requires a minimum of nerve force to play. As between a new instrument and an old one of this kind it has been demonstrated that a child can do three hours practice with the same amount of fatigue which would be occasioned by using a new instrument one hour. These small instruments are returnable to us at the full purchase price paid in exchange for a full size instrument at any time.
