Violin Resembles Human Ear In an effort to improve the tone quality of the violin without detracting detract-ing from resonance or volume, a German musician and inventor has made an instrument bearing a striking strik-ing resemblance to a human ear, which produces sounds of great sweetness and purity. This violin, described in Popular. Mechanics Magazine, Mag-azine, has virtually been built on edge, the sounding surfaces, therefore, there-fore, do not need to be curved to make room for the bow, and this, apparently, has increased the resonance reso-nance of the instrument.
