1INTRODUCTORY
3THIS CATALOG, probably the most elaborately illustrated of all similar publications heretofore issued by any music house in the United States, is intended as a guide and handbook for the use of players and teachers of stringed instruments.
5Its sphere is limited to modern Violins, Violas, Violoncellos and Double Basses, with the accessories pertaining thereto. We also issue a brochure de luxe of rare old instruments of the same family, which will be sent on request to those contemplating the purchase of such.
7All descriptions in this catalog are concise and are drawn with the utmost precision, devoid of exaggeration or misrepresentation. The illustrations picture the various instruments as realistically as possible, bearing in mind that no two pieces of wood are exactly alike in grain or texture and that it is the earmark of an artistic workman to take advantage of such differences, in order to lend a distinct individuality to each and every subject fashioned by his hands.
9The instruments described in the following pages are NOT picked up haphazard in the open market. They are specially made for Lyon & Healy, by experts, on lines laid down by the greatest of the old master makers. Some of the world's most celebrated violins, such as the "Earl" Stradivarius, the "Messiah" Stradivarius and the "King Joseph" Guarnerius supplied the models for instruments listed in this catalog, and in these reproductions design, measurements and color of varnish have been as carefully followed as possible.
11But it is especially in their superlative tone quality that our stringed instruments differ from others at similar prices, and this characteristic will be found throughout the entire line, from the superb Cremonatone Violin at $250.00 to the lowest priced Eureka Violin—every instrument listed is at the head of its class, and from this standard no deviation is or will be allowed.
13As the house of Lyon & Healy is the largest in the world devoted to music exclusively, so are its guarantees the broadest, and the one which vitally interests the buyer, safeguarding him in his purchase, is that the quality of its merchandise will always be "The best obtainable at the price."
15We ask your patronage and will do our best to deserve it.
