THE MUSIC TRADE
INTRODUCE UKULELE BANJO
Buegeleisen & Jacobson's Newest Creation
Promises to Be a Big Favorite in Trade
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, New York, musical
merchandise importers and wholesalers, have
just placed on the market a new instrument des-
ignated as a No. 3S ukulele banjo, which gives
every indication of being one of the most popu-

REVIEW
instrument is one of the most popular additions
to their line that they have ever featured.
The neck of this ukulele banjo is made of rock
maple, and the body of laminated strips of maple,
glued together, and very strongly constructed.
It has a wood rim and closed back of rosewood
veneer, the head is set in a solid nickel rim, and
the finger-board is made of rosewood veneer
with pearl inlay.
This ukulele banjo has four strings, similar
to a ukulele, but its tone is distinctive to a de-
gree and combines the most pleasing qualities
of the banjo and ukulele. With the present
country-wide demand for instruments of the
ukulele family this new ukulele banjo should
meet with a ready sale everywhere.

H. L. Hunt, manager of the musical merchan-
dise department of C. H. Ditson & Co., New
York, has returned from a vacation of some
three weeks which combined business with a
great deal of pleasure.
Leaving New York
Mr. Hunt went to Boston, where he was greatly
interested in seeing the new Ditson Building in
that city.
From there he went to Chicago,
where he spent the greater part of his vacation.
While there he visited the factories of Lyon &
Healy, J. C. Deagan and the Regal Mfg. Co.,
manufacturers of guitars. Mr. Hunt enjoyed
automobiling through the adjacent territory and
visiting the various army camps in that section
of the country. On his return trip Mr. Hunt
