5OLSEN (Lars-Jorgen-Rudolf) — New-York. — Contemporary maker born Copenhagen (Denmark) in 1889. After a thorough apprenticeship with Emil Hjorth & Sonner of Copenhagen from 1904 until 1909, he studied in Otto Mochel's Dresden and Berlin workshops for four years, stayed a short time in Amsterdam, and thence went to New-York in 1914, establishing himself as a violin and bow maker. He also worked for a time with John Market & Co. He reproduces the models of Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati, Lupot, etc. His oil or spirit varnish varies from light yellow to dark red or brown red. His instruments are deservedly appreciated. Established at 651 Third Ave. Label Nos 524 & 525.
