Letters from Professionals Using Instrument Pro-
nounce It a Wonderful Model.
There was a time when musicians as a general rule
believed that no American manufacturer could com-
pete with European manufacturers in the making of
the French horn.
But since the bringing out of the French horn as
built by The Martin Band Instrument Company of
Elkhart, Ind., it would seem that the old theory must
make way for the new order of things. This belief
is based upon the actual experience of players, who
voice their opinions in letters like the following from
Ziegler's Music Shop and School at Muscatine, Iowa:
"The Martin French horn arrived the other day,"
says the letter in part, "and although I had sold the
customer a horn of European make, after trying out
the Martin he said he preferred to pay the additional
price and have the Martin.
"Mr. Phil Richards, first horn of the Tri-City Sym-
phony Orchestra, lives in Muscatine and after try-
ing the Martin pronounced it a wonderful instru-
ment."
