Wizard of Oz' Co-Produced by Theatre Workshop, Drama Dept. The Violin: A Work of Precision and Love "brittle," the violin will sound hard and metal-like. If the finish is too "oily" the sound will be muffled. To get the smooth, mellow sound of the violin a common ground must be found between these two extremes, he explained. In relation to the development of the violin, Prier, who also plays with the Utah Symphony, pointed out that since the introduction of the violin is about 1490, "The shape of it has not been improved upon has never been altered in any way to produce the same sound." He added the slightest alteration in design can change the sound.

"Many have tried to Janet Mifflin, Rob Xontes, Kathy Arbon, Ruth Campbell, Margot Scott, Sarah Day. This famous musical will be directed by Dr. Charles Whitman, with Herb Tucker as his assistant director, Frank Lee White musical director, and Nolan Dennit as choreographer. The Wizard of Oz is sure to provide a wonderful evening o. entertainment for anyone.

The Brigham Young University will bring this fantasy alive on July 7. 8. 13. and 14. a 8 in the Pardoe Drama TVatre, HFAC.

The drier 4he wood the "more flexibile it is and the better it will sound." Utah's Climate Is Ideal Prier said as a result of Utah's geographic location its climate is the "most ideal in the world" for making violins. The low humidity keeps his 100-year-oid wood extra dry. Prier said temperature also has a big affect on the tone of an instrument.

He noted an instrument when played in a cold room sounds "stiff." But. he added, "An instrument played at room temperature opens up and plays much better." "The warmth of the body definitely gives the instrument better sound." Prier stressed the finish on the violin is also critical in producing a good instrument. Prier said if the finish is too plates, top and bottom back." Graduation, he explained, is the degree of the slope of the plates. "A thousandth of an inch difference can make a good violin or a bad violin." Prier made his first violin when he was 14. The only power tools he now has in his shop are a jig saw, a band saw and a small disc sander.

His musical instruments, which include violins, violas, cellos and basses, are all hand made using tools sometimes centuries old in design. Prier feels that wood the most important part of the violin. "The older the wood the better the instrument I can build," he states. Even though the wood he uses is often wood that as cut over 100 years ago in Austria and Yugoslavia, Prier said, "Wood is alive." It's alive, he explained, By JOHN BALMFORTH "Im a strong believer in handmade instruments. That is the only way an instrument can be ma to attain the ultimate in sound said Peter Paul Prier, one of the few violin makers in North America.

"Measurements have to be so exact," Mr. Prier said. A native of Germnay who now runs a shop in Salt Lake City, he added "that one sixteenth of an inch can change tone color completely. The slightest change in measurement makes so much difference in the production of sound in the way it penetrates and the way it carries, that it is quite an amazing thing." Requires Precision "The sound of the violin," continued Prier, who came to American in 1960 at the request of the Pearce Music Company of Salt Lake City, "is determined by the graduation of the to smoothly. It's the same with a violin, the more you play it the easier it will respond to your touch." Aside from making new instruments, Prier also repairs all string instruments.

He said he and his employees could easily work 24 hours a day just repairing instruments. He pointed out the most common repairs he makes are fixing cracks, warps, fingerboards and budges. While much of his business is centered on repairs, Prier said he would like to spend more tjne making new instruments. Violin School Planned In the future Prier hopes to establish a school for violin making in Salt Lake City He has already formulated a curriculum "which encounters every hour of the day for three and a half years," the same anv-unt of time spent in the Mittenwald school. He also has a group of students scheduled to start the school in September.

The response from those interested in coming to the school has been "tremendous," with applications coming from both Utah and California. Prier said about the only school for violin making is the Mittenwald school in Germnay, which has an enrollment of 35-40 students. As a result it makes it very difficult and expensive for Americans to learn the trade. The Brigham Young University Speech and Dram Department is combining with the seventh annual Theatre Workshop to present the delightful musical, "The Wizard of Oz." It will be performed in the Pardoe Draira Theatre on Julv 7, 8. 13, and 14.

The trustees were able to effect the reduction because the New Hampshire legislature, meeting in special session, granted the public institutions a supplementary budget of $405,000. come up with a new mold or a new design, but nobody has been able to do it in the last 400 years." Violins today are being made Just as well as they ever were. He added that tht great value of the stradivarius violin comes as a result of its antique value. He pointed out that while Stradivari made his violins as best he could, there are just as many fine violins being made today.

In time, the violins that are made today will increase in their value too. Violins Take Time, and Love A fine violin, Prier went on, will take 100-120 hours to make. As a result of the time and effort put into the instrument Prier said, he never parts with an instrument, even after it's sold. "When you put that many hours in and that much interest into something, it's yours. When I sell the instrument, I still consider it mine.

They can never take it away from me." Prier, who recently opened a larger shop on Second South in Salt Lake City, said, with age a violin will have a better response. "The sound as far as loudness and quality is concerned does not improve." He pointed out, "It's there the first day and will be there as long as it's adjusted well." "The response or ease of playing will improve with much use," he went on. Prier used the analogy of buying a new car to explain this idea. "The first 2,000 miles you shift it, it's very stiff, but pretty soon everything fits together and the gears work With his instruments sold out for the next lxk years, Prier said there is a tremendous need for violin makers and musical craftsmen in the United States and especially in Utah. He said there are only 50 trained violin makers in the U.S.

Germany, which is roughly the size of Utah, has over 363. Eventually he expects the school to expand into something really big. Leaning back in his chair, Prier said he wished everyone could enjoy their occupation as much as he did his. Speaking of his own craft, he said he has enjoyed every second of it.

Red Cross officials are predicting that the recovery operation will cost the organization at least $3 million. This amount, added to the costs of assisting victims of the cureent Washington State and Alaska floods, has forced the Red Cross to launch a $5 million fund campaign. Describing the flash flood recovery effort as "the flood that drowned the Red Cross national disaster budget the the 1971-72 fiscal year," Robert F. Shea, the organization's vice president for disaster, termed public support of the current fund campaign "imperative." Helps Many During the year, Mr.

Shea explained, the Red Cross helped victims of 488 large and small disasters in the United States at a cost of $13,534,200. This is $1,139,200 more than we have either in the disaster budget or received in contributions. The $13,534,200 does not include the money that will be spent assisting victims of the Black Hills disaster which, he said, "is estimated conservatively at $3 million." It also does not include the funds committed to finish the job of assisting victims of floods in Washington state and in Alaska, expected to exceed $250,000, Mr. Shea explained.
