struments of the violin class, and more particu-
larly to the bow or means for inducing the re-
quired vibrations of the strings.
The object of the invention is to provide a
vibrator which will act on the string in a
manner closely analogous to that of the usual
bow and means for presenting sucn vibrator to
the string with the required delicate yielding
touch.

Charles
G. Conn, Elkhart, Ind. Patent No. 848,726.
While this invention is applicable to all valved
wind musical instruments, the inventor describes
it in connection with a cornet.
The usual manner of constructing cornets is
to introduce the wind into the third valve or
valve nearest to the bell by means of a bend in
the mouth pipe which, when the valve is de-
pressed gives the wind column a turn in con-
ducting it into the third valve slide that muf-
fles the tone and is detrimental to any note pro-
duced when the third valve is used.
In the present invention is introduced the
wind into the third valve or valve nearest the
bell in such manner that when the valve is de-
pressed the direction of the wind is not changed
and no turn is made to project it into the third
valve slide. Consequently the tone is not muted
or muffled in any way.
CLAMP FOK DRUM ATTACHMENTS. Charles B.
Wanamaker and Ulysses G. Leedy, Indianapolis,
Ind., assignors to Leedy Manufacturing Co., same
place. Patent No. 849,517.
The object of this invention is to provide a
simple yet efficient means by which attachments
of various kinds may be connected to a drum, the
device being especially designed for use in at-
taching various musical instruments or a music
rack to a bass drum.

Sole Importers for United States and Canada
Morrissey, Providence, R . I . , assignor of one-half
to Philip H. Rose, same place. Patent No.
850,776.
This invention relates to chin-rest and shoul-
der-pad supports for violins, violas and like in-
struments, and' fias for its object to provide an
adjustable clamping device by which the chin-
rest may be readily attached to the instrument
and firmly held in position thereon and also as
readily detached from the same.
The device is arranged to be locked onto the
instrument by the action of a revoluble cam, and
the opening between the gripping jaws may be
nicely adjusted to accommodate themselves to in-
struments of different thicknesses, said adjust-
ment being accompanied by a screw action, and
a feature of my present construction is that this
adjusting mechanism may be operated and set
from the outside of the device while the same
is in position on the instrument. The device is
also provided with means whereby a shoulder
pad or cushion may be detachably held thereto.

there has practically been no interruption of

the change was effected. Next week this model
establishment will be running along almost as
smoothly as though nothing out of the ordinary
had occurred.
