1Violin Repairing, Adjusting and Tone Regulating.
3It is absolutely necessary to entrust fine violin work to experts. Not one workman in a thousand who repairs violins to-day can properly be classed as an expert, nature must needs fit a man with the artistic temperament, patience, infinite capacity for taking pains and years of experience, research and familiarity with old master violins, such as to be had only by an apprenticeship served in the art centers of the old world, an absolute necessity to produce what we esteem a fine violin maker and repairer.
5We have such men in our employ and their experience and honest advice is at the service of our patrons, our charges are moderate, our work above reproach.
7We would be pleased to have you consult us in reference to repairs, furnishing you with estimates as to cost, also the opinion of our experts as to the amount and character of repairs necessary to produce the best results.
