THE

ART OF PLAYER TRANSCRIPTION
Second Edition of Dr. Schaaf's Book to Be Is-
sued Shortly—Carefully Re-edited
Dr. E- O. Schaaf, of Newark, N. J., who has
won renown as a composer and arranger of
music for music rolls, will soon issue the second
edition of his book on "The Art of Player-Piano
Transcription." The new volume has been
carefully re-edited in order to keep step with
improvements that have been made since the
first edition was issued three years ago. Dr.
Schaaf's claim is that the player-piano must
be considered as an entirely new means of
expressing music, especially in its ability to
permit of the ornamentation of melodies and to
reproduce special and elaborate scores. The
book is intended for the use of makers of mas-
ter rolls as well as for the layman.

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 25.—Patent No.
1,229,083 was last week granted to Monroe S.
Howard, Waukon, la., for an automatic expres-
sion control for player-pianos.
The present invention contemplates as one of
its principal objects, the regulation of the de-
gree of vacuum attained in the striking pneu-
matics, through the action of a valve controlling
the passage between the striking pneumatics and
the exhaust chamber, and operated by a valve
control pneumatic whose action is regulated by
air pressure whose varying degrees are attained
through the co-action of auxiliary openings pro-
vided in the tracker bar, and openings provided
in the music sheet, whereby maximum efficiency
in the reproduction of the accent touch and ex-
pression employed by a musician in rendering
a composition, may be attained.
A further object of the invention is to provide
control means for the individual pneumatics, by
equipping them with valve controlled pneumatics
regulated by the control of admission of air at
atmospheric pressure to them, through the ac-
tion of a music roll in controlling openings in
the tracker bar, these valve controlled pneu-
matics in turn actuating cut-off valves for con-
trolling the degree of vacuum obtained in the
striking pneumatics whereby the force of their
strokes may be automatically varied and con-
trolled, so that delicate and accurate degrees
of expression and control may be acquired.
A still further object is to provide a simple,
