1VIOLIN REPAIRS.

3All instruments requiring repairs should be sent to Mr. F. W. CHANOT, 73, Berners-street, London, W., whose experience is well known, a pupil of the celebrated Chanot, of Paris, 1864—1873, and of his late father, George Chanot, London, 1873—1880. He is in every respect to be trusted with the repairing of the finest instruments of Cremona, as the following extracts will fully show. "For four generations the Chanot family have had a European reputation as makers of violins, 'cellos, bows, &c. . . . The house has also been always famous for the unerring judgment of its members in respect to the antique violins by the great masters in which they have dealt. . . . In addition to maintaining the high repute of the family as makers of and dealers in violins and cognate instruments, Mr. F. W. CHANOT has made his mark by publishing some of the choicest violin music ever produced. The 'EDITION CHANOT' is familiarly known throughout the professional and amateur world. . . . He also supplies every requisite for the artist in the form of bows, strings, &c. A large amount of business is done in REPAIRING INSTRUMENTS, THE WORK BEING EXECUTED BY AN EFFICIENT STAFF OF HIGHLY SKILLED WORKMEN. So well known is Mr. CHANOT'S enthusiastic delight in valuable antique violins that the owners of the most cherished instruments commit them to his care, for the purpose of repairing, with the most unbounded confidence."
