SMALL GOODS SHORTAGE REPORTED
THE S. S. STEWART BANJO-MANDOLIN VERY POPULAR
Samuel Buegeleisen, head of Buegeleisen &
Jacobson, New York, in a chat with The Review
this week, commented upon the steadily growing
PHILADELPHIA, PA., April 3.—President H. W. popularity of the entire line of S. S. Stewart in-
Weymann, of H. A. Weymann & Son, one of struments. S. S. Stewart banjos, banjo-mando-
the largest jobbers in small goods in the East,
reports that no consignments of any kind of
musical merchandise are to be expected from
Germany until after the end of the war. The
cutting off of the European supply is taxing the
American manufacturers of small goods to their
capacity, and the Weymann factory is working
day and night to fill the orders which are being
received. The greatest scarcity is being felt in
violins, bows, band instruments, strings and ac-
cordeons, and the lack of brass is seriously
hampering the manufacturers of band instru-
ments. Business, however, is active.
H. W. Weymann States That No Future Ship-
ments of German Goods Will Be Received
TUNING SLIDE FOR CLARINETS
D. C, April 3.—William F.
Reynolds, Dayton, O., was last week granted Pat-
ent No. 1,171,647 for a tuning slide for clarinets,
which relates more especially to the class of ad-
justable tuning barrel joints for clarinets. The
primary object of the invention is the provision
of a tuning slide of this character wherein the
construction thereof is novel in form and can be
conveniently applied to a clarinet so that the latter
can be accurately tuned, and in the use thereof
enlarged air gaps are avoided, which ordinarily
take place when drawing out the barrel joints of
the clarinet.
Another object of the invention is the provision
of a joint of this character wherein the parts
thereof are assembled in a novel manner to permit
easy adjustment without liability of separating the
joints from the mouthpiece or the body of the
clarinet.

and may be embodied in instruments having a
single reed for each mouth, thus resembling instru-
ments of the clarinet family, that is to say, clari-
nets, saxophones and the like; and may also be
embodied in instruments having a plurality of
reeds for each mouth, and it may also be em-
bodied in instruments of the flageolet family.
The invention is pioneer in that a musical mouth-
blown pipe instrument is provided which is capable
ot being played by one person using both hands
and which will produce two sounds at the same
time, and in which the sounds of simultaneously
played notes may differ in color, in range and in
tone quality, and may be played in any interval of
the full chromatic scale of two or more ovtaves,
as the intervals of seconds, thirds, fourths, etc., at
the will of the player.
An object is to give a richer color effect by a
single player than was heretofore possible and to
increase the orchestral effect with a given number
of players.
