laudation 31 to ^axopfjonr
Frank Holton has again performed the seem-
ingly impossible in the creation of the new Hol-
ton Revelation Alto Saxophone. A tone that is
truly miraculous in its extraordinary wonderful
quality—a full broad mellow tone so
rich, lustrous and beautiful in its
brilliancy and depth when compared
to the saxophone tone you usually
hear that you pause in wonderment.

The Sockets are silver brazed to tile body, a method of con-
struction that make* the socket an integral part of the body,
impossible to loosen without melting the body to which it is
attached and absolutely eliminating every possible chance of
leakage. By this method the body retains its original propor-
tion* improving tone and tunini;.
The Holton Ma-ter Keys.--C-I> and G sharp
keys which revolutionize the playing of the saxo-
phone. Make possible even to the amateu r the
playing of iKu-saijes written for the
Saxophone that heretofore have been
practically impossible to execute smooth-
ly. Fully described with excerpts from
standard number* in "The Talent Test,"
The Holton Catalog on 'Saxophones. A

The Holton Saxophone Pad is the
longest wearing, best covering pad
used on any Saxophone. Made of
2 sections of hard "Wooltite" felt
with a piece of water-proofed card
board between to prevent moisture
traveling from one piece to the
other. The kid skin is also water-
proofed; this construction making
a pad with a hard cushion, that re-
tains a level seat at all times, never
swelling and affecting the tone and tuning
the instrument by lessening the distance '
tween pad and socket when key is open.

The tone has been perfected to
such an extent that no matter what
key you play in,—no matter what
arpeggio you attempt, you rind per-
fect harmony. An extremely even
tempered scale in all registers.
And to all this has been added the
greatest possible ease in playing. Breathe
into this marvelous new creation and
the tone rolls out in all its richness and
beauty—a tone of such tremendous
volume and carrying power that it
seems almost beyond belief—a tone so
easily controlled that a double pianissimo
as soft as a whisper can be gotten from
the lowest to the highest tone on the in-
strument.
Balanced to such a nicety that the
player is relieved of the least possible
tension, the fingers falling naturally
upon the keys, the instrument maintain-
ing an even balance on the neck strap.
Here is truly a miracle in saxophone
building—a saxophone von must play
yourself to realize what a tremendous
advance has been made,
in the perfecting of the
Holton Revelation.
Sold on a free loan
plan that is absolutely
unique and at the com-
mand of Holton Dealers
