17HIGH-CLASS ENGLISH VIOLINS
18(By H. J. WALKER).
19The maker of these violins has made the subject of the principles of Violin Construction, which were adopted by the old Classic Masters of the Italian School, his special study, and after a series of experiments which has extended over many years, has arrived at the conclusion that excellence in violin construction is to be achieved by faithfully following their principles.
20The violins of this maker are consequently, whilst of surpassing excellence in design and construction, without any vagaries or so-called inventions and improvements. They possess
21The Real Old Italian Tone
22of a fulness and richness which has hitherto only been found in the finest productions of the best makers of Cremona.

33OLD VIOLINS FOR SALE
34My monthly list (being printed on the not very expensive quarto size of paper) remains stationary at Violin Number 84. Collectors should recollect, however, that I have a large number of violins that are not in my well-known Monthly Wholesale Lists. Some of the best bargains in this private collection are advertised three times a week in the Bazaar newspaper. Bargain-hunters should keep their eyes on these little advertisements. There are only twelve words, which, after deducting my name and address, does not leave room for a very elaborate description. Still (like the Texan pianist), I do my best. Old firm, old address.—H. DYKES, 38, Queen's Arcade, Leeds.
