HIGH COST OF OLD
FIDDLE KEEPS SOARING
Indiana Collectors Frantically Outbid Each Other in
Shelbyville When Fiddle Age Is Discovered.
Hope springs eternal in the old fiddle owner's
breast. Notwithstanding the fact that the owner-
ship and location of nearly all of the old, famous
violins are known to the experts, big violin dealers
and rich collectors, as well as the whereabouts of
Maud S. descendants are known to the horse biog-
raphers, the discovery of "valuable old fiddles'' con-
tinues. Here is a story from Shelbyville, Ind., to
the Indianapolis News:
"At a recent sale in St. Paul of the household
goods of the late Dr. I. W. Jewett, a violin was sold
for $1 and later was sold by the purchaser for $5. A
short time later, while looking into the instrument,
the new purchaser found the date 1690 stamped
there, making the violin 230 years old. The last
buyer has been offered $100 for the violin but has re-
fused the offer.
Influences of the Danquard School Publicity at
Grand Central Palace Were Far-Reaching.
Widespread interest in the reproducing piano
was easily the outstanding feature of the recent
Music Show at the Grand Central Palace, New
York. Hour after hour crowds of interested men
and women from every walk of life hovered about
the "booths where reproducing pianos were shown,
seemingly entranced with the art and perfection
demonstrated by these instruments.
What piano tuners were to the piano world of a
decade ago, expert reproducing action repairers are
likely to be to the future. Reproducing actions of
today arc amazingly well perfected, but through
their very mechanical nature they need attention
occasionally from one who understands them.
Hence the great opportunity the Danquard
School, New York, now affords to tuners and other
men looking out for a growing and substantial
future business.
The Danquard School is presided over by Thomas
Danquard, the famous inventor, and is under the
active direction of Milton Cheek, probably one of
the most highly trained action men in "the country
today. The Danquard School has laid out a com-
prehensive course of from two to four weeks in re-
producing piano study. Both upright and grand
actions are explained. In this course the player ac-
tion is gone into interestingly, plainly, and yet so
thoroughly that one would have to be more than
indifferent to keep from becoming proficient. Mr.
Cheek has the happy knack of making study seem to
be play; and the school, to observers, appears more
often like a vacation than anything else.
No charge is made for instruction. And the school
cordially invites everyone interested to enroll at once
and take full advantage of its facilities and teach-
ing. New entrants register every day and any
one interested should communicate immediately with
Mr. Cheek, Danquard Player Action School, 609
West 51st street, New York, City.
