17THE VIOLINIST'S GUIDE
18from every state in the Union, from Canada, Mexico, South America, all the larger European countries, Turkey in Asia, India, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, etc., etc. It has a world-wide distribution.
20At the close of the Great War, another issue of the Guide will also include the names of European members of the violin making industry.
22But we wish first to make our list of American makers and dealers complete. And the task of revising is already under way before you receive this copy.
24So: Will you kindly not delay, but send to our office immediately notice of additions, corrections, changes, new names, etc., anything which should be in our next Guide. This will cost you nothing, and will be a material help to the profession.
26We take this occasion to express to our friends and patrons our appreciation of their help in compiling the present work.
28The letters which came to us after our first announcement that a Guide would be published, showed not only that violinists and amateurs have felt the need of such a work; it showed also a keen sense of their appreciation of the difficulties we would encounter.
30A prominent American maker wrote: "I believe you are building better than you know."
32The present volume is only a beginning. It is the first ploughing of the ground—the pioneer effort. If it leads to the standardization of the violin making industry and to the recognition of the trustworthy and reliable individuals and firms, it will have served a good purpose—it will have rendered a real service to the profession of violin making in America.—Editor.
