Shoppe, 222 West Ninth street, is making a
special display of Morelli violins, of which it
has exclusive sales agency for Delaware. Since
the days of the old masters of violin making
it has been the ambition of all violin makers
to discover that certain secret process which
gave such wonderful tone qualities to the in-
struments of the masters. About six years ago
an Italian, Andreas Morelli, a descendant of
an old family that for generations had been
violin makers, claimed discovery of one of the
so-called lost secrets and to-day a purchaser
of a Morelli violin is the possessor of an in-
strument that compares most favorably with
an instrument of the masters that commands
such fabulous prices.
Morelli makes exact reproductions of the
Stradivarius, Guarnerius, Testori and Gagliano
violins. His violins are made in the Swiss Alps
in the same region from which Stradivarius
obtained the wood for his violins. The best
violins are made of maple, with the exception
of the top or sounding board, which is of spruce.

of musical merchandise, 119 East Twenty-third
street, New York, is the distributor of the
Morelli line of hand-made violins.
