The first issue of Violins appeared in March 1938 and in October the name was changed to Violins and Violinists; it ceased publication in December 1960. In addition to information on violin performances and performers the magazine carried detailed and informative essays on classic violin makers of the past; the best known of these were Doring's long articles which were published in book form as How Many Strads Chicago 1945 and The Guadagnini Family of Violin Makers Chicago 1949."

13698Used; Like New/Used; Like New. An original mute or "practice" violin with the pegs fingerboard bridge tailpiece and strings of a normal violin on an anchor-shaped frame without a resonating space.<br>Mute violins known to have existed since the eighteenth century and mentioned by Leopold Mozart in his Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule 1756 are built to allow violinists to practice technique without actually generating a sound -- and therefore without disturbing their neighbors. They may have an outer frame with the shape of the violin or an even more minimal anchor-shaped frame to allow for a comfortable hold and for shifting hand positions. Some mute violins were constructed from the remnants of earlier functioning violins. Today's violinists have the option of practicing on an electric "silent violin" the successor to these eighteenth- and nineteenth-century instruments. unknown books
