course the direct benefit of this advertising
is felt by local dealers who handle the Re-
gina boxes. In cities and towns where the
kegina products are still unrepresented it
ought to be worth while for dealers who have
not already done so to investigate.
The new Regina illustrated folder, show
ing what the Regina agents are doing in the
way of advertising, is certain to be effective
for the purpose intended. On this page are
shown two excellent examples of Regina
up-to-date advertising now in use and get-
ting good results. Everything possible is
being done to further the interests of Regina
agents who show a lively desire to push the
Regina products. In fact, the Regina Co.,
under its present management, have no use
for agents of any other kind.
Mr. Furber says he is always glad to hear
from progressive music dealers who are able
and willing to handle the Regina music boxes
in a progressive way. The reports and or-
ders coming in at this time from the agen-
cies are very satisfactory. All leading styles

number of brand-new vocal solos, popular
hits, records from Kendle's band and the
Metropolitan orchestra and from the Haydn
Quartet, also descriptive and talking records.
These latter include Bible readings and stor-
ies for children. The new $25 and $50 ouL-
fits, recently issued, are •coming into vogue
for yachts. The owner of a "Victor" recent-
ly, when on his yacht, caused the instrument
to be played when the vessel was half a mile
from shore. It was loud enough to collect
a crowd on the water front within ten min-
utes.
POLE'S TYMPANI LIKED.
John C. Haynes & Co., makers of the "Bay
State" instruments, are now agents for
Pole's tympani, which are, of course, con-
sidered absolutely necessary to the proper
equipment of an orchestra or military band.
1 rice and quality are pointed out as being
two forceful factors in Pole's tympani.
They are $60 per pair. This is about two
fifths the regular price for these instruments.
The shells are made of mahogany or ma-
ple. Heretofore they have been uniformly
of metal—usually brass. It is found that a
superior tone is produced when the wooden
shell is used. The tone quality of Pole's
tympani is powerful and marvellously pure,
with exceptional blending qualities. The
stands on which they rest are detachable and
may readily be packed in a small box. A
pair of these tympani are now on view at
the warerooms, 867 Broadway.
TRUMPET-VIOLIN.
Remarkably extraordinary is a musical
instrument which has just been invented.
It can best be described as a violin which has
a trumpet in place of the ordinary sounding-
board. This trumpet is made of aluminum
and is firmly secured to the violin. The vi-
brations of the strings are produced by means
of a diaphragm, which is connected with the
trumpet.
Miss Kthel Lynd played on this instrument
in London recently and attracted much at-
tention, not only from professional musicians,
but also from members of the Royal Insti-
tute. The latter examined the instrument
carefully and were highly pleased with the
sounds which it produced.
The music of a trumpet differs widely
from that of a violin, yet it is said that when
the two are played together, as they virtual-
ly are on this instrument, most melodious
sounds are the result.
