try. These strings are made in various forms and
grades, the unlim'ted selection offered to the trade
insuring the rendition of perfect satisfaction to the
most critical customer. The Durro string has been
tested and tried out under the most difficult con-
ditions, and every trial has added new laurels to
its prestige. Samuel Buegeleisen, head of Bue-
geleisen & Jacobson, has devoted his personal at-
tention to the Durro string line, with the result that
it ranks as one of the most popular lines of strings
ever introduced.
MAKES VIOLIN OF BRASS.
Joseph Prouix, machinist on the Laconia division
of the Pepperell Co. and a'-so musician and master
of many instruments and former band leader, says
the Biddeford, Me., Journal, conceiving the idea
that brass might be used in the manufacture of
violins with satisfactory results, begari last fall to
make one as a test. He occupied his spare eve-
nings in the construction of the instrument, finish-
ing it recently. His first test of the brass fiddle
was more than a gratification to him. He claims it
more than bore out his theory that brass might be
employed satisfactorily in violin making. The in-
itial scrape of the how across the strings produced
soft, mellow and musical tones, not a harsh, rasp-
ing noise that one would expect. Mr. Prouix found
the tone not unlike that of ordinary wooden violins,
and he declares in some respects it is superior to
wooden instruments.
NEWS FROM THE WEISS FAMILY.
William Boeckkr, in charge of the American
office of Ch. Weiss, WA Broadway, New York, har-
monica and Fluta manufacturer, has received sev-
eral recent communications from the Weiss factory
at Trossingen, Germany, stating that Ch. Weiss and
his sons, Hermann and Otto, are enjoying good
health, although the latter are undergoing the exi-
gencies of active warfare.
