1ADDENDA
3COUGHLIN (John-E.). — Chicago (Illinois). Van Buren St., Room 200. Contemporary maker and repairer.
5GEMUNDER (August. M.). — New-York. (See Miscellaneous Schools). Gemunder Art Violin. Another violin of this model was played by Madame Nicoline-Zedeler-Mix, soloist of the famous Souza Orchestra during their world tour in 1912-13.
7Press articles were very eulogistic regarding the qualities of this instrument. Mr August Gemunder is a distinguished violinist, and founded the musical paper "The Violin World" in 1892. He is also the inventor of "Harmonious Vibrators" which are used to vibrate in harmony with the notes played by the violinist: the object being to increase the tone of the instrument, creating a more sustained and sonorous tone on all the strings and positions, thus producing that quality of mellowness and response so sought after by violinists.
9The name of the invention is "Amplitone" and can be adapted to the instrument without necessitating any change in it, the vibrators being removable.
11This quite recent invention is all to the credit of the inventor whose reputation as a maker is very great.
