9"Some two thousand or more of M. Vuillaume's instruments have already been sold, and have been, after a little use, preferred, even by good judges, to the genuine old instruments. In these copies the proportions, thicknesses, &c. of the old violins are preserved with scrupulous exactness; the wood (sought out with much labour and at great expense, amongst the weather-beaten chalets of Switzerland) possesses the requisite qualities of age and consequent resonance, and the varnishes have the purity, colour, and fine and limpid appearance of the old Italian varnish."
