nertachable Player Action Co., of Seattle, Wash.,
will act as Western distributer for the Sigler
adaptable player actions, represents only one of
the several important connections recently made
by the Sigler Co. with piano manufacturers and
others for the installation and distribution of its
actions.
In speaking of the progress made by the com-
pany C. M. Sigler, the president, said: "Our ac-
tions have been warmly received by the trade, and
the elimination of so many complicated mechan-
ical points found in many other players, thus sim-
plifying our actions, appeals strongly to the
manufacturing trade. Our actions are wind-tight,
both in the dry, steam-heated season and in the
summer dampness, and are noted for their dura-
bility and artistic results. Our factory is at pres-
ent busy working on contracts, and we are
preparing for a much larger output this fall."
NEW WILFRED AGENCIES
Established by H. C. Frederici, Who Recently
Returned from a New England Trip—Had
Splendid Outing as Guest of Fred W.
Peabody—General Conditions Good.
H. C. Frederici, of the Wilfred Co., 156th street
and Whitlock avenue, New York, had a most
successful trip recently through the New Eng-
land States, where at Boston he demonstrated the
Wilfred player to a number of prominent piano
men. His trip was successful, inasmuch as he
established several new agencies for the Wilfred
player and received some substantial orders from
piano merchants who have been handling this in-
strument since it was put on the market.
While in Haverhill, Mass., Mr. Frederici was
the guest of V. W. Peabody, and went motor boat-
ing and camping with the latter along the Massa-
chusetts shore over Sunday, with the result that
he returned to New York with a large appetite
and 100 per cent, efficiency for a fall campaign.
DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A "BUZZ."
(Special to The Review.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, August 23.—A device for
producing a buzz effect is the invention of Bow-
land H. Mayland, New York, patent No. 1,150,447
for which was granted him last week.
The object of this invention is to provide a
practical and advantageous means for obtaining a
luizz effect accompanying the production of a mu-
sical note, either by means of a resonator properly
equipped, or in an organ pipe, that is to say, an
element providing a resonant air column. The
present popular demand for a certain type of music
has created a demand for a different effect than
that produced by a clear tone.
J. P. Seeburg Piano Co., has been keenly felt in
the trade all over the country. In response to the
notices of the dea h, hundreds of letters have been
received by the company from his hosts of friends
from coast to coast expressing the keenest sor-
row at the death of a man who was highly esteemed
for his genial disposition and exceptional ability.
CATALOG OF "PERFECTION" ROLLS
Contains a Complete List of Those Rolls Up to
and Including Present Month.
The Standard Music Roll Co., Orange, N. J.,
has just issued a complete catalog of "Perfection"
hand-played music rolls which retail at twenty-five
cents. The catalog takes in the latest bulletin of
these rolls, and contains 322 selections of various
classes of music, carefully divided under the cap-
tions of Popular Songs, Popular Dances, Marches,
Instrumental Music. Most Famous Songs and Fa-
mous Hymns. The first two pages of the catalog
are given over to an illustrated talk on the oper-
ation of the Edison electric perforators, with
which "Perfection" music rolls are produced.
We Have A Ninety (90)
Second Vacuum!
Do you know what that means? It means that the 11)17) player-
pianos manufactured by us will sustain one note for ninety sec-
onds—one minute and a half—without pumping, once the bel-
lows have been pumped up hard!
Make This Experiment Yourself!
Put a roll in any player-piano. Have just one note open. (A
test roll is convenient for this.) Then shut off the tempo lever
on that one note and pump up the bellows as hard as you can.
Have the key-lock released so you can see the key depressed.
When you have pumped as hard as you can, stop pumping,
hold your watch, and see how long a time elapses before the
key rises.
Most players hold about 20 to 30 seconds. Some hold perhaps
as much as 45 or even 50. But our player-piano,
The M. Schulz Company
Player-Piano
will hold enough vacuum to keep that pneumatic collapsed
FOR THE TIME OF 90 SECONDS!
We claim the tightest and easiest pumped player on the market.
And our sales records show that the claim is MADE GOOD!
We have other great features, set forth in our special
booklets, which we shall gladly send you for the asking.
