1An Old Violin Well Bought Is Three-Quarters Sold
3LESS than fifty years ago old violins—known masterpieces of the great Stradivarius, Amati, Guarneri, etc.—that today would readily sell for $10,000 each, sold for about $1,000. A similar ratio of increase has occurred to violins by less famous makers.
5THE increasing scarcity of old violins, known to be the work of the old masters, makes the possession of a superb old violin—bought right (with the guarantee of the world's greatest music house back of it)—a splendid financial investment, while, at the same time, an artistic delight.
7THERE are old violins on sale elsewhere, but any collector, any expert, any great soloist will tell you that the Lyon & Healy collection of old violins—known masterpieces of the great makers—is the finest and largest in America.
9IN the moderate priced old violins the same care is taken in buying. The tone value, the workmanship, the correct balance of values must be there—or the instrument is not added to the Lyon & Healy collection. Moderate Priced Genuine Old Violins—guaranteed by Lyon & Healy—are wonderful value. A large number always on hand for inspection.
