PNEUMATIC LEATHERS
These Important Products for the Piano, Player and
Organ Manufacture Are Specially Made.
T. L. Lutkins, Inc., 40 Spruce street, New York,
is a specialty leather house whose products are of
great interest to manufacturers of pianos, players,
reproducing pianos and organs. And the degree of
interest may be judged when the importance of
leathers in the construction of the instrument is con-
sidered. That importance is recognized by T. L.
Lutkins, Inc., in the methods of procuring the most
desirable skins in the raw state and the subsequent
processes in converting them into special leathers for
the music industry.
The reputation of manufacturers and the success
of dealers really depend on each one of the individual
parts in an instrument. Even the seemingly insig-
nificant things must not be slighted, either in their
composition or construction. Infinitely greater care
must be used in the selection of the materials which
compose the vital parts. The pneumatics of a player-
piano, for instance, call for the greatest care in
choosing the leathers required. All leather houses
cannot supply them. Manufacturers depend on spe-
cialty leathers, among manufacturers of which T. L.
Lutkins, Inc., is foremost. Packing, valve and all
special tanned bellows leathers are also included in
the leathers produced by the company.
JOINS CONN N E W YORK CO., INC.
The Conn New York Co., Inc., 237 West Forty-
seventh street, New York, has engaged William M.
Bartow, the famous cornetist, as cornet and trumpet
expert and adviser generally to patrons. Mr. Bar-
tow was solo cornetist with Sousa's and Conway's

Instrument Made by Lyon & Healy for Jack Fenni-
well Creates Interest Heard by Radio.
The following item is clipped from a recent issue of
the Chicago Evening American:
"At WEBH was a new and strange instrument said
to have cost $1,000 and to be the only one of its kind
in the world. It is, as near as I can gather, "The
Big Four Washburn Guitar." It was played by Jack
Fenniwell and sounds considerably like an ordinary
steel guitar but with a booming accompaniment."
Lyon & Healy reports this instrument to be spe-
cially made by the company for Jack Fenniwell,
prominent Chicago guitarist, after plans made by
Mr. Fenniwell and W. I. Kirk, superintendent of
the Washburn stringed instrument factory. The cost
given in the news item is not an exaggeration. The
instrument has four guitar keyboards and is built
somewhat along the lines of a zither. A very large
chamber produces a great volume of tone, rich and
deep in quality and of great carrying power.
TO MOVE IN BOSTON.
The Musicians' Supply Co., now at 218 Tremont
street, Boston, will move to new quarters at 83 New-
burg street, June 1. An entire building, now being
remodeled, will be occupied. Then the twentieth
anniversary of the founding of the house will be cele-
brated. Martin Handcraft band instruments and
Ludwig drums and banjos are carried in addition to
a fine variety of musical merchandise.
SUPPLY BUSINESS IMPROVES.
H. J. Hartwick, manager of the Chicago offices of
the Boston Piano Supply Co., of Norwood, Mass., re-
ports a very satisfactory improvement in business.
Mr. Hartwick was formerly western representative of
the American Felt Co. and the Boston Piano Supply
Co., traveling through the Western states.
