6The fine workmanship and general excellence of the Violins by M. Lotte are sufficiently proved by the following testimonials.
8SIGNOR GUIDO PAPINI writes—"I have tried the Violin by Mr. G. Lotte, and find the instrument extremely agreeable. It is well made, of good proportions, the wood is finely selected, and the construction generally irreproachable. The tone is sweet, and of a quality which is very rare in a new violin."
10J. HAROLD HENRY, Esq., writes—"I beg to acknowledge safe arrival to-day of the 'George Lotte' violin, together with the bows, etc., as ordered last week. I am exceedingly pleased with the instrument, the tone of which is really very remarkable. Kindly send me two more at once, if possible, and oblige."
12HARRY TURNER, Esq., F.C.V., St. Andrew's, writes—"I have kept two of the violins. I am very pleased with them. They are certainly fine instruments, and as they stand they are richly worth the money, and I have no doubt, in a few years' with every day playing, they will be equal with Vuillaume's, with whom I believed he worked."
14J. MATTHEWS, Esq., of Guernsey, writes—"The Lotte Violin has pleased so much that I am desired to ask you to send me a Viola by same maker with the same character of tone, i.e., smooth and velvety."
16BASIL ALTHAUS, Esq., writes—"The violin by Georges Lotte you have sent me is exceedingly good. I have not seen a better made instrument, the tone is pure and equal."
18MISS AGNES A. LAWS, Aspley Guise, writes—"Shall keep both the G. Lotte Violins with which I am much pleased."
20WALTER BLOUNT, Esq., Lewes, writes—"G. Lotte Violin gives me every satisfaction, you may therefore book them to me."
22W. WHITE PHILLIPS, Esq., L.C.V.—"Quite satisfied with the Georges Lotte Violoncello."
24T. JOLLY, Esq., Eccles, Manchester, writes—"The tone of the two Lotte Violins you sent me is delightfully sweet and quite equal to the others you sent in October. You may make use of any communication I have, or may address to you, it being a pleasure to me if in any way I can forward a good cause."
