1class violin by an honest British maker, that is his next best course, and the result is often astonishing. Indeed, I have heard it whispered that some of our home makers when pressed for time buy these violins in the white, touch them up a little, clap in their own ticket, varnish them carefully, and sell them as their own. Good oil varnish made from fossil amber is such a grand seller of a violin, both in regard to appearance and tone, that I may now be excused for devoting an entire chapter to that subject.
