Designed to Withstand Climatic Conditions
Are Popular with Violinists—Durro Line a
Favorite Owing to Its Conceded Merit.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, 113 University place,
New York, are experiencing a steadily increasing
demand for their entire violin string lines, and the

REVIEW
Durro line, which has achieved success from coast
to coast. The Durro professional silk violin "E"
string is a great favorite with violin players, be-
cause of the fine quality of its silk. It is cut in
three separate lengths and each length knotted.
It has the finish of a gut string, but being silk is
absolutely moisture proof.
SOLD OLD VIOLIN FOR $15,000.
Hans Letz, of Kneisel Quartet, Buys "Strad'
from Representative of French House.
THE NEW BRUPW FLASH SIGN.
Attractive Electric Sign That Should Serve to
Boost the Dealer's Musical Merchandise Busi-
ness Being Offered at a Very Low Price.
Electric flashlight signs that work automatically
generally cost about twenty dollars, but C. Bruno &
Son, Inc., 353 Fourth avenue, New York, have
made arrangements with a big concern whereby
flashlights like those shown in the accompanying
Albert Caressa, head of the house of Caressa &
Francais, of Paris, the well-known dealers in
ancient violins, who recently arrived in this coun-
try, made known the fact that he has sold to 'Hans
Letz, second violin of the Kneisel Quartet, a
Stradivarius for $15,000. Mr. Caressa brought to
this country fourteen violins, having a value of
$200,000. Mr. Caressa has sold famous old instru-
ments to many well-known violinists, one of his
greatest transactions being that in which he sold
to Albert Spalding, American violinist, in 1913, a
Guarnerius dc Gesu for $30,000. He is vice-presi-
dent of the Syndical Chamber of Musical Manu-
facturers of France and a Chevalier of the Legion
of Honor.

this prominent house has enabled it to take care
of the wants of its dealers with maximum service
and efficiency. With the advent of warm weather
the question of strings becomes a matter of greater
importance to the violinist than during the cool
months, and to handle this problem Buegeleisen &
Jacobson have made a specialty of choosing strings
for their line that will withstand all climatic

Lyon & Healy, Chicago, were overruled recently
by the Board of General Appraisers in protests af-
fecting the classification under the tariff act of
silk strings for musical instruments. The Collector
classified the goods as manufactures of silk with
duty at 45 per cent, ad valorem. The claim relied
on was that the goods are parts of musical instru-
ments dutiable at 35 per cent, ad valorem. Judge
Sullivan concluded that Congress intended goods
of this kind to fall under the silk schedule of the
law. He therefore affirmed the Collector.

light is out it shows like illustration; when the

Anything in action catches the eye; this is the
secret of moving window displays, and with the
new Bruno sign any aggressive dealer ought to be
able to attract ten tinies the number of people.
Moving signs are a distinct novelty in the musical
merchandise field, and the introduction of this new
Bruno sign ought to create considerable activity
in retail sales.
Bell Brand Harmonicas

Have won a national reputation because of their remarkable and durable
qualities. They are not the best merely because they are American made,
and the only harmonicas made in this country, but they stand competition
with the products of the world, embodying the very best musical qualities
and workmanship.
