If you were familiar with violins in late 19th century America, chances are you would have heard of Charles Albert. His violin shop (like his father's before him), was a favorite spot for local orchestra leaders, and a favorite drop-in place for violinists from around the world. While they were in town, they "always laid in a supply of Albert's strings." Charles and his father John were violin makers who invented a "superior method for wire winding the bass G string, and they also devised a sordino for muting strings, that was superior for its day. His son (Charles F. Albert, Jr.), who also worked in the family business, is buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, as well.
