There is thing special about this violin maker that identified him from the great Stradivarius, He has only one arm. Once a musician who played in .a_ three-man orchestra, Damian Cymbrowski, 83, of 243 Edward street, Oshawa, now makes the instruments he once loved to play. BORN IN POLAND Born in Poland, November 18, 1880, Mr. Cymbrowski came to Canada in 1910 w+- he work- ed in Toronto as a railway worker during the day and a musician at night. Then one some-| wheels of a moving train and his left arm was severed at the | shoulder. "When I was better, they: wanted to put me in a veterans' hospital, but I. could not go since I had my wif> and chil- dren to look after," reflected Mr, Cymbrowski. In place of his lost arm Mr, Cymbrowski used a clamp fas- tened to a small work bench. The clamp holds the pieces of wood which he carves and cuts until they are molded to their proper shape. Although he is handicapped the finished instru- ments are comparable to any manufactured by a top violin company. ~ INSTRUMENTS COMPARED others Mr. Cymbrowski show- ed the difference in the weight and quality of wood used in making the violin, His violins, cellos and bass fiddles are made from beech wood which he says produces greater reso- nance and deeper tone. Also among his accomplish- ments are four houses that he built. "Give me the lumber and I build you a house," said Mr. Cymbrowski as he showed me the front of his house. He does not despair easily and although he is 83 years old he wants to build a new verandah for the front of his house this summer. Any spare time Mr, Cym- browski has is devoted to the that the heater was on, examined the accused of the Oshawa Police Depart- ment testified he saw Kelly slumped over the steering wheel of his car which was parked in a vacant lot. near the West- mount school about 11.30 p.m., Feb. 15.
