NEW LIST OF QENNETT RECORDS
Three Great Classical Records and Large Number
of Popular Ones Please All Tastes.
Foremost among the .Gennett releases this week arc
the three records containing Schubert's "Unfinished
Symphony," recorded by the British Symphony Or-
chestra. Records No. 2603, 2604 and 2605 giving
all the parts and movements are valuable additions
for the music lover's collection of records.
The Symphony is recorded in its entirety, note for
note just as it was inscribed by the master. It has
become a favorite everywhere since its first perform-
ance in Vienna in 1865. Universal is the fame of the
British Symphony Orchestra, each member of which
is an eminent exponent of his own instrument, and
these records reflect the effort to reproduce faithfully
the musical genius of the great master Franz Schu-
bert's greatest work.

PRAISES HANDCRAFT SAXOPHONE
C Melody Model Theme of Flattering Letter from
Prominent Music Director.
Warm praise for the C Melody Martin Handeraft
Saxophone is contained in a letter recently received
by Fred A. Holtz, sales manager of The Martin
Band Instrument Company of Elkhart, Ind., from
Albert F. Bartlett, R. A. M. Mr. Bartlett is direc-
tor of the Columbus Academy of Music, Columbus,
Ga., and was formerly a captain bandmaster in the
British army. Mr. Bartlett during his wide and
varied experience as a musician has had ample op-
portunity to study and investigate musical instru-
ments of almost every make, and for that reason his
high praise of the Martin is all the more significant.
Me writes:
' T h e C Melody Saxophone arrived safely and it is
very gratifying to me to be able to inform you that
my customer cannot find words to express his ad-
miration of the instrument. It was shown to the
most prominent saxophone artists of this city and
without exception was acclaimed to be the very best
they had ever handled or played. One in particular
who owns a saxophone of another make said there
was absolutely no comparison in the instruments.
Personally I thank you for enabling me to positively
assert that I am privileged to offer the very best
saxophone on the market."
