He had the unique genius to combine a thorough knowledge of the acoustical values of wood with a fine artist's sense of the good and the beautiful. Unexcelled by anything before or after, his violins have such purity of tone, they are said to speak with the voice of a lovely soul within.

The Rock of Gibraltar has been our trademark since 1 896. And we thought a two-ton piece of its 1 000-foot limestone cliffs would make a good gift for the Museum of Science Rock Garden of the World! The Rock Garden is their growing collection of the world's unique geological formations. So someday soon, take your family through the fascinating world inside the Museum of Science.
