This is the January 1950 issue of The Etude Music Magazine. The cover features a violin-maker working his craft, to go with an article inside on how to choose a violin. That fascinating article includes some great photos of the entire violin-making process, starting at the very beginning with the choosing of the spruce wood. The magazine includes articles relating to the music scene of the time, pages and pages of sheet music, and lots of cool ads. Condition is really excellent for its age, with all the pages intact and no tears or damage, only some very slight wear to the cover. Asking $5.00 obo. Everything I have listed for sale is "or best offer", so feel free to make an offer. ~~~~~ ALL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP. I sell a huge variety of stuff to supplement my income and help me put the last of my kids through college. Some items come from flea markets or estate sales, and some come from around our home, but many items come to me from my extended family of hardcore hoarders. So, the variety really can be vast and unpredictable. Please check back often, because you really never know what I will have from one day to the next! Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
