1CREMONATONE VIOLIN
2Style G1180
4This superb violin is modeled after the celebrated "Earl Strad," of the Hawley Collection, one of the choicest specimens in existence of the great master's work, and one of the finest in tonal qualities that has ever graced our collection.
6In appearance this violin is exceedingly beautiful. The pure oil varnish with which it is covered is of a lustrous orange red, and its formula is not bettered by that of any other modern violin maker.
8The back is of the choicest flamed maple, old and garret seasoned, selected to resemble as nearly as possible that of the original. The sides match the back. The top is of select old seasoned spruce, of fine, straight, even grain. Trimmings are of the very finest quality throughout.
10The tone is large, round and flexible, far carrying, therefore eminently suited to the requirements of the all around professional musician, to whom this instrument is enthusiastically recommended.

16CREMONATONE VIOLIN
17Style G1140
19Stradivarius model, of the large, broad, flat type. The wood is old and garret seasoned, of the highest quality, selected for beauty of grain and figure, as well as for accoustical qualities. The color is plain—a reddish brown or a golden brown, highly finished and polished. Genuine oil varnish of the finest quality. The tone is large, resonant, flexible and far carrying, exquisite in quality, ideal for concert, orchestra or home use, of great power in fortissimo yet mellow and velvety in pianissimo. Constructed on the most scientific lines, this instrument, while being a violin of the present, is especially one for the future, as, with a few years of playing its value musically should increase several fold.
