OUR FIRST ;.I.�!IV -JRS.4.hY rUl�jwn

:ie feel that ':'ie may be pardoned for exhibiting a very lively scene 0'::­pride in this our first number of Volume 2. In looking back at our first num";er '/\7e cannot help but feel that ,Je are at L1st producing SOlnet�.ing refllly worth wtile, compared to that very modest start.

However before we become "all choked upl! with our nride let us hasten to declare that much of the advunco is due to many interestin:; lett,erG and articles received from our subscribers.

Their letter2 often contained the encoura�in words so badly neudea by your editor under the stress of production and financin� the Journal�

It is our ambition to place this ma'!a�ine into the hands of evcJ .�/ wortf'1.1tlhile violin maker on this cor.tinent and you our subscrioers are tllC only ones who can assist us in this unciertc..kin'J.:. You all know at ledst une maker '"ho miiTht enjoy ana profit by om' ',Jerk. ' Ask bim to ,]rite us or send us his nare. In this manner you will be ioin� yo�part to make The Journal Itbio.:�er i.'lnd l')etterl?

:''1e would also like to eX"�)ress our th 3!' ks to the many new advertioers whose ?l copyl! ap;')ears in this issue. T"eir expre ssion of confindence in our work is also a de finite si�n of advancement in that our Journal is worthy 0� their attention.

Let us then, again, wish ourselves a "Happy Birthdayli nd repeat the request that you keep your lettors all articles com'ng in. This is your Journal and '\ivere it not for you \Je .vould not be enjoying a hedlthy reputdt­ion.

The Editor, The Journal : It w�s in rove� er 1057 that we saw the JOlrnal make its modest but brave

de l .. ut.

Ori�inally intendsd as a sort of chronicle of local doings of the Mem er­shi� of our AssociJtion, it ]-,;s, in t�1e space of one short ye 3.1' , assumed the proportions of � re7ular, monthly public�ti8n.

It has ilso hscome the Official Or��n of the Violin Makers' Association ·of Eritist Columbia. 3etween its trim covers have appeared interesting articles; bv Makers, t�sicidns dnd other prominent aut�orities on the Violin.

The "an chiefly responsible f01 its remarkable growth is none other than our inde .fatigable Secretary and :;2,di tor, Mr. Don -.:hi te, ","ho conceived the idea, and almost sin�le handed, has developed it to its present status.

Hanpy Jirthc1ay to the JOllrnal, :tnd con0"ratuL�tions, Don! May your ardour neVEr cool!

A SUGGESTld' Fl{On MR. SLOTNICK

Jirthday Greetings to your vJOndel'ful Journal. I enjoy it very much and find eact issue better than the last.

I found the enclosed clippinr.; of .singular interest and hope you finei a li�·e intersst. It is from the "New Yo;k TimesH of Oct.5. "lith tr:.is ad I have tLc:; op;:ortunitv to P-L�t forth an i ea that has been kiclc' ng around in the back of my r:e:1.d for a lon�; time. I'lost notices mention the name of the piano in use at the recital. Eve� orc hestral concerts, when no piano is used m�ntion3 the name of tbe Tlo f"' "'ic-� al H pian0. I'Ir. Gerle for the first time in r:1Y memory names the maker of his violin. True it is ehe malcer Strndivari, ho needs no publi� city. ;Jut I think it is � .... igh tL.:e that tl->is oscor.le a co"u;non pr:ctiee. I real­ize that some makers WOllld feel that this pracLice might work against them but this is t�"le chance one must t:.lce. I <.m certain tb t in Vle lon?; run it would benefit all.

Illost st.::.r performer,s ei thor have or aspi:J."c to Strad, GUarneri etc., but I thinkvvi t t". ':.;. concerted effort alone tl:i s line, many adventurous artists would �e willin� to nldy on d modern instrUIJCLt :or perhaps one part of their recital �r even the encorE )art of tho progr_m. If ln artist lS willin� to take a chdl.ce pL-1.y:�n,' neVJ cdl,] diffic1,.lt ('lusic, I see no ie..l.S· r: ',vI7 he 'iiouldnTt be willinr; to try d nev; violir: at ti..e S.J.d:: t1me.

I hODe �Tour ori:cwi 'ation ',vill consider this l<:.e::.< and perhaps plan a ca.m­paign to "�ut across thi;-) il.8,.l. to the concert "'Jvorld.

On the start of our second ye2r of publication our first thought is naturally to evaluate the results of the last year and second, one which is more important, to glance at t�e future.

No one could have expected that The Journal would have snowballed into the size and popularity that it now enjoys. The inital ided was merely to �ut out a sort of monthly letter or bulletin. Within a few months, however, ar�i­eles came flowing in from all over the globe and requests for subscriptions in their wake. In other words the Violin Makers's Journal was not created. Like Topsy • • nIt just growed n •

It soon became iFlportant enough to wear a cover and now at its First Birthday, Behold . . • A full fled�ed magazine read by subscribers in France, En.tdand, Norway, U. S. A. ,md all over Canada.

';I!e wish to thank our many friends who have written kind Aniversary Greet­ings to us. �e hope we can live up te these valued opinions.

Contrary to the usual belief that the greater the production the less cost, the contrdry in our case is true. A small bulletin of a few pages can be turned out by one person cheaply and easily. Now at three times the size and a large ciculation t�e cost of )roduction is really high. Certain work must be )aid for and at $1. 5 0 per year 1(·le found we were losing money. The last few months �e have charged 12. 00 but at that we do not really break even. If we are to continue publication we must make the Journal at least pay for itself.

We believe that our readers v-1ill anpreciate our position and readily accepJl . ) , the new price we are forced to charge, namely :wJ . OO per year. At this price

it will be possible to produce a worthwhile magazine which we feel confident will continue to grow throughout its second year.

We have writers expressing their thoughts and experiences so that all might share in their knowledge. This has been to your editor a most thrilling and gratifying experience. The realization that the best maker hold no secrets vvhile those of uncertain stclture still speak of 7'secrets11 which they covertly hide. In this world the man who seeks to help his neighbor is still "The cream of the earth".

The true lover of the violin is only too dnxious that all may have the thrill of success. To all such people \lve dedicate this our Second Volume.
