in a year or two. There has been a theory
existent that a violin of even a poor quality
of tone will improve considerably by age
and use. There is every reason to believe
that it may improve slightly, but in order to
become a really good instrument a violin
must be good from the very commencement
of its existence and contain some very good
points, as the new one does. In constructing"
a violin much of the success depends upon
the varnish used, the manufacture of which
was a secret with the old violin makers, such
as Stradivarius, Guarnerius and others, and
which died with them.

HARK HAriBOURG writes: "It is superior to any other Piano Player."
ERNEST SCHELLINQ (favorite pupil of Paderew5kl) says: "It is far more artistic than

SANDERS & STAYMAN'S WAREROOMS.
During a call on G. Wright Nichols, of
Sanders & Stayman, North Charles and Fay-
ette streets, Baltimore, on Saturday, The Re-
view took occasion to visit the several floors
devoted to the display of pianos and organs
in the big Sanders & Stayman establishment.
The scope and arrangement of the exhibit
would do credit to the most pretentious em-
porium on Fifth avenue, New York.
Without referring in detail to the choice
of makes on view, let it suffice to say that no
caller really desirous of purchasing either a
piano or an organ, could possibly find a really
good excuse for declining to purchase at the
Sanders & Stayman warerooms. The stock,
in addition to being very large and choice is
well kept and displayed to the best advantage.
The manager, Albert S. Hemingway, is evi-
dently the right man in the right place, un-
derstanding his business and loyal to the
firm's most vital interests.
