Violin Continued from page 10 Symphony in September. Na- gyvary then analyzes the violins note by note and in doing so, lays the scientific foundation for reproducing those sounds in his own violins. If he’s answered the question of how the wood was treated for the great violins, Nagyvary’s still only solved half of the puz zle because no one knows what type of varnish was used for the great Italian violins. “The biggest missing link is the analysis of the varnish,” he says. “With $50,000, we could finish up the whole problem. And then you could write a de finitive book on Stradivari. ” But the book will be on hold until Nagyvary gets the money. He says that he’s spent “$80,000 of Mrs. Nagyvary’s grocery money (savings)” and $600 from A&M on his violin work and is now trying to find outside sources to fund his re search. After many years of trying, I finally got varnish samples, but I have no money to do that kind of research,” he says. “I’m just sitting on these samples. Even for a few thousand dollars, we could do some thing, he adds. “Otherwise we just look at them (the sam ples).” He says he’s tried some in state sources but has had no luck. And when he mentions his plight in lectures to out-of-state audiences, “they always laugh at me and just refer to the fact that Texas A&M alumni are known to be richer than anyone else.” Nagyvary says he sells about four violins a year, at prices which have ranged from $6,000 to $13,000, but even with that money, he’s still not making a profit on the overall operation. Although he’s frustrated with the lack of grant money to do the research on the varnish, he says he’s “maximally satisfied” with his position at A&M. The international notice he received for his work on violins caught the attention of his superiors, and he is now pursuing what was once his hobby in a full time research capacity. “I really cannot complain about Texas A&M University it self,” he says. “I’m just very up set about the lack of support in Texas in general.” So for now, Nagyvary con tinues to build his violins and work on his wood technology research and spectrum analy ses. And he worries that he may not be the one to find the secret ■ to the varnish. “I’m desperately trying to get some money before most of the research is done by others,” he says. “But there are ups and downs (in this line of work). “Maybe three months from now, someone will send me money,” he says with a laugh. “You never know.”
