CHROMATIC PITCH PIPES IN DEMAND
C. Bruno & Son, Inc., Meeting With Success
With New Style Pitch Pipe
C. Bruno & Son, Inc., New York, well-known
musical merchandise importers and wholesalers,
are receiving large orders from jobbers and deal-
ers throughout the country for their new chro-
matic pitch pipes, which they placed on the mar-
ket a short while ago. These pitch pipes are
being used generally, and according to the let-

HOLD ANNUAL STRING CONCERT
Prominent Artists, Including H. L. Hunt, of
Ditson's, Appear in Notable Affair
On Saturday evening, April 13, the annual
Bickford-Kitchener concert was held at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The pupils of these
famous teachers gave an evening of mandolin,
guitar and banjo music. The soloists of the
Improved Style Full Scale Chromatic Pitch Pipe
ters that the house has received from its deal-
ers, they are giving satisfaction in every respect.
Prior to the outbreak of the w-ar practically
all of the pitch pipes used in this country were
of foreign manufacture, and the cutting off of
all importations threatened to become a very
serious obstacle to the development of musical
instruction, as the pitch pipe is practically an
absolute essential for the beginner in the study
of music.
In order to meet this emergency C. Bruno &
Son, Inc., have established a modern plant
equipped with the very latest and best auto-
matic machinery obtainable for the manufac-
ture of pitch pipes, and, with the co-operation
of their clientele, have already succeeded in mak-
ing this division of their business an important
factor in the musical merchandise world.
The chromatic style pitch pipe is probably
the style most generally known to the musical
public, as it is in general use in the public
schools in the teaching of singing, and it is in
tliis particular style of pitch pipe that the house
of Bruno has developed its great superiority over
the old imported product. The improved style
of tube construction is vastly superior to the
old harmonica style, in which the imported
article was made. It is very much more sani-
tary, and its accuracy of tuning and ease in
blowing have made it a prime favorite every-
where.
W. J. Kitchener
evening were: W. J. Kitchener, banjo; Vahdah
Olcott-Bickford, guitar; Zarh Myron Bickford,
niando-'cello, and Harry L. Hunt, tenor.
Harry L,. Hunt, manager of the musical mer-
chandise department of Chas. H. Ditson & Co.,
at 8 East Thirty-fourth street, needs no intro-
duction in concert circles. His solo work has
been heard again and again with the Serenaders
at their various concerts. Mr. Hunt was heart-
ily applauded.
Mr. Kitchener, in the accompanying illustra-
tion, is shown playing his favorite Lyon &
