On March 28, 1924, violin maker Thomas L. Hofto posed in his workshop at 917 1/2 Broadway with one of his works in progress. Mr. Hofto was a master of the old art of handcrafting violins. He had studied with a Polish maker of instruments named Trognitz, formerly of Los Angeles. He was photographed measuring the thickness of the wood on an unfinished violin sound board; he explained the importance of such details of construction to the quality and volume of tone that a violin yields. The wall behind Mr. Hofto is adorned with tools for his craft and completed violins. Mr. Hofto and his wife Bertha resided at 4521 No. Mullen. He lived in Tacoma for 40 years, creating scores of instruments; he died May 7, 1951 at the age of 65. (TNT 3/29/1924, pg. 5) G56.2-159
