THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW,
MR. JACOB DOLL is making improvements in
many of his instruments. He has remodelled
his style D, and added to its appearance by cut-
ting the panel in two, making a double panel.
A new music rack will also be a feature of all
his new styles. This is so constructed that the
music will not be torn at the bottom, as is fre-
quently the case with most of the racks at present
in use.
