Violin Vamlsh.
The violin dealer was talking about
the mystery of tho eld violin varnish
es. "Tlio wonderful tone of the old
violins," he said, "depended on the
varnish a great deal. The secret boa
been lost. We don't know today how
the old varnishes were made. Charles
Reads, who " went Into thls subject
deeply, claimed that oil with 'gum la
solution, and color evaporated In spir
it, were the basaa of the best varnish.
Cut whether ho was right or wrong
no one knows. A violin consists of
from 30 to 70 pieces. We make violins
today Just as they were made In the
past, but we dont' varnish them the
same. Some varnishes contained
ground amber. Recently, to the ruin
of a priceless Guarnerlus, Us varnish
was scraped oft and analyzed, and an
abundance of amber powder was
found." Philadelphia Record.
