SAXOPHONE ADVICE
Why C Melody Saxophone Should Be Used by
Beginners Are Given in a Letter.
E. A. Hartman, manager of the Conn Chicago
Compare, 62 East Van Buren street, Chicago, has
received the following letter from the house of C. G.
Conn, Ltd., Elkhart, Ind.:
Elkhart, Ind., Dec. 2, 1925.
Beautiful Gold C. Melody Saxophones will be sup-
plied you on consignment over the holidays. Push
Melodys..
Because: The C Melody is the instrument for the
beginner and is the easier to master, being in the
middle register—just right for an untrained em-
bouchure.
Because: The C Melody is the natural instrument
to start on as it is a non-transposing instrument
and can be used for vocal scores, and most begin-
ners have had training in school on vocal music.
This aids the player of a C Melody materially.
Because: The C Melody is the logical home in-
strument and is used more generally there than in
bands or orchestras, for the average saxophone
buyers do not "arrive" into the band or orchestra
class, although they may expect to do so. If they
should arrive there, they then become another pros-
pect for more saxophones, therefore more sales for
you.
Because: You can explain that a C Melody can
be used in band or orchestra as well as in the home,
for oboe, English horn, cello, violin and other parts.
Furthermore, Melody Sax parts are now arranged
for in band and orchestra music.
Therefore, it is to your interest to boost the C
Melody saxophone. Use these mats for your Xmas
trade. Use them freely. Encourage the home play-
ing and home orchestra.
Send us your order for consigned C Melody Saxo-
phones in the gold finish at once and make a window
display. Cordially yours,

There are now 25 members in the stringed orches-
tra of the Congregational Church in De Kalb, 111.
The first meeting to forming a high school band
in St. Clair, Mich., was held in the high school last
week with Ernest R. Storey of Sarnia, who has
been hired by the Parent-Teachers' Association to
instruct the band.
The "first band" of Forest City, la., was formed
Nov. 23. A second band or beginners' band was or-
ganized Nov. 25.
Two bands have been organized in the Ligonier, Ind.,
schools, one with thirty-five musicians and another
with sixty-five. In a few months the two organi-
zations will be united to form a school band of
nearly 100 pieces.
An important meeting and rehearsal of the Boys'
Band, Monroe, Mich., took place in the band room
with Gus Koehler, of Toledo, in charge. Plans were
made for the regular weekly rehearsals of the band.
R. A. Wilier, director of music in the Sullivan, Ind.,
public schools, organized a Sunday school orchestra
at the Christian Church.
The Lexington, Ky., school band, composed of
boys of the Lexington grade and high schools, is
rapidly developing into a worthy musical aggrega-
tion, with rehearsals held twice weekly.
The Boys' Band of Maysville, Ky., is under the
leadership of Prof. George D. Barnard.
VIOLIN MAKER GAS POISONED
Joseph Bietau, New York, Who Has Ambition to Pro-
duce Finest Fiddles, Rescued by Policeman.
Joseph Bietau, 57 years old, a violin maker with
a workshop at 53 Avenue A, New York City, is at
Bellevue Hospital suffering from accidental gas
poisoning. He was saved from death only by the
heroic efforts of a policeman, who found him in an
unconscious condition in his shop. The stock of 56
violins, mostly of his own manufacture, were re-
moved for safety to the Fifth street police station.
According to neighbors and friends the violin
maker has the ambition to create violins in America
which will rival the Stradivarius.
It was ten years ago that Bietau began intensive
work to fulfill his dream of creating an unsurpassed
violin. His many friends who have heard the mel-
low tones of his instruments in his little shop are
praying with him that he may live to achieve his
ambition.
BRITISH INSTALLMENT PLAN.
The terms for the Hire Purchase (British name for
installment plan) of Gramophones were discussed at
a recent meeting of the joint meeting of the Gramo-
phone Manufacturers' Association and the Gramo-
phone Dealers' Association, and agreed upon as fol-
lows: Ten per cent interest to be added to cash
price; amount of deposit (minimum £1) ten per
cent; period, twelve months; no minimum to price of
machines. Other matters in regard to which suitable
decisions were made included the formation of
branch associations, and discounts to employes of
stores.
