MUSIC TRADE
THE WEISS SILVER FLUTA
Is a New Instrument Which Embodies Many
Improvements in This Type Which Is Prov-
ing One of the Great Favorites with the
House of Weiss—Big Orders Being Booked
by Hermann Weiss, Who Is Now on the Road.
Ch. Weiss, the well-known manufacturer of
harmonicas and the "Fluta," announces the com-
pletion of a new and improved model of the "Fluta,"
to he known as the "Weiss Silver Fluta." This
new instrument, which is similar to the original
"Fluta" in many respects, contains several features
which are distinct improvements on the first model,
and make it an instrument which will undoubtedly
prove profitable to the musical merchandise trade.
The "Weiss Silver Fluta" is constructed entirely
of metal, not a single piece of wood entering into
its make-up. Owing to its all-metal construction
it is hygienic and sanitary to the highest possible
degree, and of unusual durability. The new model
has a detachable bell, which permits of a thorough
and quick cleaning. In appearance it resembles
a band instrument, and its graceful lines make
the new "Fluta" a welcome addition to the display
stock of the small goods dealer.
The "Silver Fluta" retails for $1.50, and has ten
keys and two basses. Its length is the same as
the first model of the "Fluta," thirteen inches, and
every member of the trade who has viewed the
new style, "Fluta" at the New York office, 393
Broadway, is .enthusiastic over the merits of the
instrument and its future possibilities.
Hermann Weiss, American representative for the
house of Weiss, who recently started on a Western
trip, has been showing a model of the "Silver Fluta"
to the jobbing trade, and the reception accorded
the new instrument was most gratifying. Mr.
Weiss received substantial orders for the "Silver
Fluta'' from all the jobbers he visited, and was
congratulated on every hand on the distinctive
qualities of the instrument and its handsome ap-
pearance.
The original model of the "Fluta," which made
a phenomenal success, continues to be a prime
favorite with the trade, and the only trouble has
been in securing sufficient stock from abroad to

fill the orders being received each day. An excep-
tionally large shipment of both models of the
"Fluta" is now on its way here, and will probably
arrive in New York about the 22d of the month.
This shipment will enable the American headquar-
ters to make prompt deliveries on all "Fluta" or-
ders. Mr. Weiss has also received many large
sized orders for the "Metalla" harmonica, which
is being strongly pushed by the house of Weiss.
