The secret of their mimifacturc lias passed nwny with the nfisters who fashioned them. In Cremona, the ancient province in the north of Ita'y. there arose In the sixteenth nnd eventeentb centuries n clioel of violin makers that brought the art te the hlchext level ever nltiineil. Andrea and Nicola Amnti, founders of the Cremenn fcchoel. developed the old eld old faihiened vle' into the modern violin, end tliev and their aucccssers made n utrumcnts which have remained uti jmra leled In tone and workmanship te tlic present day. Stradivari Tops Thetn All Most famous among the later of the fremencsc nm ters was Antonie Htradivarl. who lived in the latter half cf the seventeenth and the early part of the eighteenth centuries. Ills liistru. tncnts generally are conceded by imisi imisi dens te be the greatest examples of the tlellii maker's art se far produced. According te Thnddcus IClcli. concert cencert tnanter of the I'hllade'pliln. Orchestra, the interval of time which has elnpsed tince the fabrication of tlice great In struments has had little te de with their excel ence beyond a certain mel lowing effect. "L ke the painting of the Old Macters." he Mild, in discussing the matter yesterday, "the virtue of the thing i" Inherent In it; the hand that made it had the touch of genius. It vns great at the start and has re mained se. That Is the whop truth of th matter. The old violin mnkcrs hnd methods and secret' processes In their crnft which have net descended te us. Their wnrkmnnshlp, their way of se lecting nnd seasoning the weed, the de sign, the varnish, nil contributed te the final resu't."
