The Name of Nationality of the Maker also Influences
Choice in Amateur and Professional.
The enthusiastic professional or amateur violinist
has a peculiarity. He requires round tone, or what
lie imagines to be such. He is always seeking for
this type of violin. But if we come to examine
closely his estimate of a fine violin we will almost
always find htat the name of the maker of his instru-
ment has considerable weight in his valuation. Age
in the instrument is considered a virtue and with
many the older the violin, or 'cello, the more this
applies.
Scarcely two violins are absolutely alike. Each
has its own peculiarities and its own characteristics,
and these peculiarities vary even with the different
instruments built by the same individual.
As each country carries, or is supposed popularly
to carry, certain peculiar characteristics, violins from
particular countries have a certain value which has
nothing to do with tone. For instance, an Italian
violin is accepted among many players as a better
class instrument simply because it is an Italian.
French, German and British instruments are supposed
to be of a definite kind and caliber. To a certain ex-
tent they are, but the matter has not always any con-
nection with tonal value. When the instrument is
ol dit presumably becomes of additional value, vary-
ing with the name of the maker and the country of
his birth.

ACTIVE PHONOGRAPH DEALER.
H. W. Bronniche, jeweler and music dealer, Ben-
son, Minn., is making a great success of his phono-
graph department. His methods of advertising re-
sults in unusual success in selling records. He han-
dles the Edison line in phonographs and records, and,
as these are popular and satisfactory, he keeps up the
volume of his sales. He always stocks the big hits,
because there is a lively demand for them and they
sell easily. Window signs announcing hits increase
the sales. As there are many Scandinavians in his
neighborhood, he also stocks and advertises Swedish
and Norwegian records, which sell steadily the year
round.

NEW DRUM PEDAL.
A patent for a drum pedal has been invented by
Chester E. Heyn, Omaha, and the pedal placed on
the market is considered a winner by its promoters.
The Heyn Drum Pedal Co., consisting of C. E.
Heyn, president and general manager, and E. T.
Gordon, secretary and treasurer, is now fairly estab-
lished, with offices in the Karbach Block. The pedal
is built of bronze and aluminum and no expense has
been spared in the material or construction.
