Robert Glier Violins<br />

Robert Glier is <strong>the</strong> fifteenth violin maker in <strong>the</strong> history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> famous Glier violin family. As early as 1632, Johannes Gottlieb Glier was maker<br />

oi lutes to <strong>the</strong> Saxon Court. The violins made by <strong>the</strong> Gliers in <strong>the</strong> eighteenth and early part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nineteenth centuries are treasured possessions <strong>of</strong><br />

many orchestra leaders throughout Europe. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> early famous makers, Wilhelm August Glier, made a violin for Thomas Jefferson, President <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

United States. This violin is now in a Baltimore collection. The violins <strong>of</strong> Robert Glier are to-day used by hundreds <strong>of</strong> soloists, orchestra leaders and<br />

discriminating amateurs all over <strong>the</strong> world. Mr. Glier has improved his violins in tone and appearance during <strong>the</strong> last years. In evidence <strong>of</strong> tliis fact,<br />

<strong>the</strong> purchase by Ysaye <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> Robert Glier's Lupot copies is conclusive pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir superiority. We are exclusive sales agents for Glier violins.<br />

What Ysaye has to say—<br />

MY DEAR MR. WURUTZER:<br />

The violin <strong>of</strong> Mr. Robert Glier that I have just played, surprises me much. I admit that<br />

I took it for a Lupot, all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beautiful qualities <strong>of</strong> which it has, and I have only <strong>the</strong> sincerest<br />

praise for <strong>the</strong> artist whose immense talent knows how to imitate Lupot even as Lupot himself<br />

knew how to imitate <strong>the</strong> great Italians. This violin, whose workmanship is wonderful, its warm<br />

color, strong and harmonious FF, is an instrument that could be used satisfactorily in concerts.<br />

The tone is beautiful, very strong and <strong>of</strong> perfect evenness; in one word, this piece <strong>of</strong> work is<br />

a great honor to <strong>the</strong> author, Mr. Robert Glier, and beg you, my dear friend, to give him my<br />

warmest compliments and tell him that I will spread his fame in Europe as well as in America.<br />

In friendship, EUGENE YSAYE.<br />

Cincinnati.<br />

Wurlitzer Balsam Fir Violins<br />

EUGENE YSAYE.<br />

The Wurlitzer Balsam Fir Violins speak for <strong>the</strong>mselves. We are anxious and willing to submit <strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> most rigid test; we court competition<br />

irom every quarter, particularly <strong>of</strong> high-grade instruments. We make perfect copies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> greatest genuine Stradivarius, Guarnerius and Amati violins<br />

known. We claim for <strong>the</strong>se violins, apart from <strong>the</strong>ir superior workmanship and beautiful appearance, perfect uniformity <strong>of</strong> tone throughout, also great<br />

purity, evenness and strength <strong>of</strong> tone.<br />

The Balsam Fir Wood used in <strong>the</strong> tops, and <strong>the</strong> flamed maple used in <strong>the</strong> backs has been cut and seasoned under our direction. Only <strong>the</strong> best<br />

selected old wood is used, all <strong>of</strong> it being seasoned for at least ten years, and much <strong>of</strong> it more than twenty years. The tops and backs <strong>of</strong> our Balsam<br />

Fir Violins are not only made <strong>of</strong> garret seasoned wood, but <strong>the</strong>y require from one to four years to make, resulting in a well developed, evenly balanced<br />

tone, that satisfies <strong>the</strong> trained musical ear. Our prices are very reasonable when <strong>the</strong> general excellence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> instrument is considered.<br />
